Hey everyone, #What is wanderer? wanderer is a self-hosted GPS track database. You can upload your recorded GPS tracks or create new ones and add various metadata to build an easily searchable catalogue. Think of it as a fully FOSS alternative to sites like alltrails, komoot or strava. #What is new? I'm coming back here to tell you a bit about what has been happening since my last update. Since then, we implemented some highly requested features:
- A fancy new 3D model on the front page (there is an easter egg, can you find it?)
- wanderer now uses vector map tiles which results in a significant performance boost for everything map-related
- As a result, we now also support topographical 3D maps in wanderer (see gif)
- Greatly improved social features: from list sharing, over profile pages and activity feeds to notifications
- The better location search allows you to search right down to the address
- And finally probably the most requested feature: integrations. You can now sync all your trails from strava and komoot directly with wanderer without having to manually export/import them
Big thanks to everyone who contributed code or translations! If you have any suggestions/questions feel free to let me know below.
Have a great weekend!

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.
