Is someone even trying to open source that type of content (routes, pois)?

Open Street Map.

But otherwise this is really something that tourist organisations could champion, in combination with national mapping services. It's not like the routes are somehow obscure, or user-generated they're often national trails strung together. Switzerland Mobility is a good example of this. You can also hook official weather providers. The fact that we need private apps is bizarre.

I know of this eu effort for long distance bike routes: eurovelo.com, but it's government afaik, not open source. I don't think anyone is doing it.
