Could you build this?
Partial The UI and GPX export are straightforward, but ranking scenic alternatives requires a routing engine and scenic-quality data (roads, viewpoints, road character) that vibe coding alone won't provide.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a routing engine such as OSRM or Valhalla, or a paid routing API, to generate alternatives. It also needs a scenic score built from OpenStreetMap tags, POI, and elevation data, plus sunset and weather APIs. Tuning the scoring so detours feel genuinely scenic requires GIS and routing expertise and iteration with real users.
