Could you build this?

Partial The conversational planner and map UI are vibe-codeable with LLM and mapping APIs, but accurate trailheads, campsites, and availability data are hard to source and keep current.

What it would actually take: Use an LLM with tool calling over mapping and routing APIs (Mapbox, OpenRouteService, or OSM-based routing), plus POI data from OpenStreetMap and sources like Recreation.gov. The hard part is curating reliable, up-to-date campsite and trailhead data and validating routes for real-world safety, which requires domain data partnerships and some GIS expertise.
