Hi Ryan Yes it is a possibility. I do a similar thing but for camping locations.
See http://ozcamps.net/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=29 for some ideas. Essentially users can upload their favourite camping locations with a photo and other details - this uses a fairly basic form, coupled with a Google Map to get the details in the database. I store the lat/long of the location. Then I use php to output this information into a xml file and used Mark Williams tutorial on xml to get that information into a Google Map and also place in a sidebar. You also need to build in ways for people to update/edit and possibly delete the information. I also store the previous information so it can be reverted to if someone changes it maliciously (which will happen). Because the information can be reverted I haven't had too much issues with people maliciously stuffing up the information. If that does start to occur I will get people to register before they can add/ update/edit but hasn't been needed yet (as an aside I have a phpBB3 forum on the site so I would use that to register people, that way I can use phpBBs features to ban people/isps etc.).
