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.

    If you guys like hiking and stuff, there’s this cool open source app called trail sense on f-droid and it’s just so much feature packed…

    I don’t hike, so I only use it for it’s pedometer capabilities and a hypothetical situation where “I might get really lost” but the amount of features it has for hiking and survival is crazy and so I think deserves to be more known.

      Yeah, I have trail sense installed - but everytime I’m out and about I just can’t work out how to use the myriad functions it has (like how high something is, etc)…

      I really ought to RTFM and try to use it properly

    I’ll install this on my Lab it looks cool!

    Also, is there any mobile app that can trace and upload trails I do in the day ?

        Ah, ok, so I can export my OsmAnd paths, import into this and then remind myself of where I went on holiday / almost fell of a cliff / got lost driving / etc ?

        I have a bunch of tracks I’ve saved over the years… hmm… maybe this is what I should be using

          Exactly! As long as you have the track in a GPX, TCX or KML file, you are good to go.

          You can also plan your route directly on wanderer (so you don’t fall off another cliff ;))

      On iOS there is GPX Tracker which simply records a GPX track and can overlay openstreetmap data while doing so.

    It looks amazing!

    How well fitted would this be for a Google maps timeline replacement?

    I see you mention we need to upload the files which maybe could be obtained from an app like https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger
    I already had a flow to have them on my server with syncthing, so I could easily use your api to process them.

    The thing would be to have each trail be marked as each day and have a way of showing them nicely (I haven’t tested everything in the demo hehe).

    Is there a plan to be able to process any GPS standard to automatically generate the trails?

    I’m currently using traccar, but it looks more like a fleet management than something to remember where you’ve been.

    Looks cool. I have it up and running with the docker compose provided. Every time I try to create a user it says “Error creating user”, and the logs say [ERROR] [23:30:00]: Login failed. Unable to obtain cookie.

    Edit: I got it working, just had to updated some of the network stuff in the docker compose. The networking in Portainer is a bit “complex”.

    I can’t get photos to work. Oh well.

      Happy that you got it working. What exactly does not work with the photos? Fell free to open a GitHub issue, if that’s easier.

    Hi, this looks amazing, I’ll try it ! How is Pocketbase? What are your thoughts working with it?

    Also, have you thought about federating trails? It would be amazing we could build a decentralized alternative to the big corps.

      I really love working with PocketBase. It gives you such a headstart, but also is highly customizable. It’s really the best of both worlds.
