Hi there

I am sometimes faced with websites that have collected a lot of GPS POIs
that are of interest to me but not available in OSM, e.g.:

    https://mundraub.org/map (a website for free fruits)

    https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gFCcfcdvdQr4e0dKmyNnsn-4q7ATlCix&usp=sharing
    (rest places in Japan)

    https://www.titsa.com/index.php/atencion-al-cliente/puntos-de-venta-y-recarga
    (a website with a map of recharge points of bus money cards in
    Tenerife ... currently not working)

I often will run a script to scrap/extract the GPS and other information
and then put it into a GPX, which I can use in OsmAnd. Now, I wouldn't
put all these points into OSM, both due to licencing questions and
accuracy of POIs.

However, I was wondering how these GPS POIs could be made available to
other users that might find these POIs relevant? I wouldn't want to
create OsmAnd tiles, but I was looking for something like OSM Traces,
just for POIs.

Does anyone have an idea hoer to spread such information?

Many thanks

Klaus
