It would be better to put location on OSM map and ask mappers to
survey there.

As long as they survey and enter data based on what they surveyed
and external source will be used solely to plan trip - AFAIK it should be fine.

With non-OSM map there is risk that some of them will start copying such map.

(there is risk that some of mappers will start copying just marker
positions, without survey, that is why it should be limited to more
experienced mappers and done in way encouraging actual survey
- so no putting such data into Maproulette and so on)
