Some friends of mine have a Google map going where they pin locations of interest (restaurants, etc).

I was wondering if anyone knew of a non-Google project that might allow for something similar? The goal would be to have a shareable map that a group of invited/ allowed users could add locations and possibly notes to.

    Basically they license out the system to companies. You can get a rough idea here: https://what3words.com/business

    The idea is that by making it free to individuals they build up market familiarity and expectation. Free personal use is just marketing for the paid product. Then they can turn to businesses and convince them that they should offer their system as a service and charge them for it.
