Exploring and mapping the spots of the world

SpotHunters is a user-populated map of spots anywhere in the world. While Google and other map services are great for finding stores and such, where would you look if you just wanted somewhere nice to sit, smoke a cig, meditate or whatever else you feel like?

A "spot" is simply any recreational location in nature or in cities, such as a well-placed bench. They are rated by their aesthetics, comfort and privacy by the people that visit them, and tagged with any other attributes, such as having a table, a great vista or cover against rain and snow.

As an user, you can submit any spot you know the location of, as long as you have at least one picture of it. Other users can then check in to your spot, providing their own pictures, and optionally a review.

Spothunters is so far a one-man project I am building in my free time. The site is a work-in-progress. At the moment, the map itself is public, however, an invitation is required if you want to submit new spots or check-ins. If you would like to be a member, you are welcome to send an e-mail to me explaining how you stumbled upon this site and perhaps where you are from.
