Cool! I always recommend OsmAnd.

Hey there,

it's been a while since my last post. Since then - with the help of this awesome community - I have added multiple new features and fixed a lot of bugs.

Most importantly there is now a working demo alongside a shiny new landing page.

And here are some more fun features I added since then:

Trail drawing: in addition to uploading you GPX, TCX or KML files, you can now also simply draw a trail by defining multiple waypoints. The route between them will be calculated automatically.
Sharing trails: simple and straightforward - you can share your trails with other users and let them view or edit.
Printing trails: there is now a dedicated print view. Plan your adventure digitally and then take it with you on paper.
wanderer is now available in 8 different languages (thanks to translators from the community). If you would like to contribute a translation you can do so here.
You can now bulk upload multiple trails at once simply by putting them in a dedicated auto-upload folder

And much more. I'd be happy if you give it a try in case you haven't yet.

With docker you can simply change the port mapping in the compose file

Speed statistics were added in v0.2.0. Hopefully also with some bugfixes.

Logging trips offline requires background location services. This does not work for a simple website. You would need to program an app for that. While this is a plan somewhere down the line, it's still far away. So currently I would recommend relying on an external app to log your trip and import afterwards.

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

Happy to help. If you can get a dump of the database it should be quite easy to import it into wanderer via the API 👍

Absolutely. I have it running on a Pi 5 and that's more than enough. You only need 1GB of RAM when first starting wanderer. After that it sits at around 100Mb.

wanderer currently parses distance, elevation gain, duration and speed. Parsing heart rate would be an easy addition, though.

You can also install it directly on your machine: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer/wiki/Installation#from-source

It's just much more tedious imo.

I see. I'm unfamiliar with the protocol, but sharing trails is definitely on the roadmap. So I will look into it!

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.

I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. Do you mean creating a trail from scratch on the map without recording it before? That is indeed on my roadmap.

Over the last two months, I developed wanderer. It is a self-hosted alternative to sites like alltrails.com or in other words a self-hosted trail database. It started out more as a small hobby project to teach myself some new technologies but in the end, I decided to develop it into a fully-fledged application.

Core Features:

Manage your trails
Extensive map integration and visualization
Share trails with other people and explore theirs
Advanced filter and search functionality
Create custom lists to organize your trails further
Chique design with a dark and light theme
Fully mobile compatible

wanderer is completely open-source. You can find the GitHub repo here: https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer

wanderer is still under active development so if you encounter any bugs/errors or have suggestions please let me know here or open an issue on GitHub.
