I updated wanderer (v0.6.1) - a self-hosted trail and GPS track database

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.

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

  • Currently wanderer supports visualising duration, distance, elevation gain and speed. Support for heart rate is planned. It can display a graph (the one you see in the screenshot) and also calculates an average.

    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.
