It would be cool if you could manually add landmarks to the maps. For example, the names of peaks, towns, bodies of water, etc. It would be amazing if this could be pulled in automatically, but I don't know if there's a good public source of landmark data.

It would also be cool if you could automatically link your media to the GPS track, like photos and journal entries. They could be assigned to the correct spot in the track via their timestamp or geolocation data.

Regarding your first point: this is already implemented! In the 3D view you see these little markers on the model with text displaying OSM features "peaks" and "saddles"

Second point: I'm a bit hesitant to store media on the server or on a cloud service, this seems rather costly as this is a free service. But I don't have much experience with this, maybe someone has a good idea on how to manage it?
