I made wanderer - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database

Reply in thread

I think you might misunderstand what wanderer does. It is not a maps service like Open Street Maps. It's simply a database in which you can store your GPS tracks. So the workflow would look like this: you are in the woods and record your track (e.g. with osmand) -> you store your track in GPX format -> you upload your track (and any additional info like a description or photos) to wanderer -> before your next adventure you check wanderer to decide what you want to do

Thanks for promoting wanderer! Finding trails on the map should be no problem, you can currently mark trails as public so that not logged-in users can see the trail. I have thought of steering wanderer towards a more socially interactive platform. I think a good first step would be to allow comments and implement a rating system.

Thanks for the crowdsourced translation website. I was looking for something like this. I will set it up and add it to the contributing section of the documentation.

wanderer v0.17.0 released — Federation support is here

Would this work like an open-source strava alternative?

It depends a bit on your use case. If you want track your progress on certain trails/tracks, then yes. Although, wanderer currently does not support metrics like heart rate or calories.

wanderer comes with a strava integration that helps you sync your data from strava to wanderer.

wanderer v0.15.1 - now with even more 3D and integrations

Currently, it creates a new trail every time. I agree that the name is a bit unfortunate. It was fitting when wanderer started out because back then it was solely made for hiking. I plan to transform summit logs into leaderboards similar to strava in a future update. Then I will probably also rename the summit logs to something more fitting.
