When I first stumbled upon this I was wondering how a one person open source project can look this beautiful. Now I am also wondering how it can be so feature rich. Seriously, I just love this project. Sadly I have no use for it right now (not big into sharing my trails, nor know enough people for it to be used), but still wanted to leave a comment just for appreciating your effort and the result. Such a beautiful project.
This means there are still nice things happening in the world.
I'm a fan of Wander, and have followed these posts with great interest, but haven't been able to successfully install it get myself. I'll give it another try in late Feb early Mar.
No way to login with a fediverse account ? ;-)
I want to try this. I'm one of the unfortunate victims of Gaia GPS turning to trash.
However, I can't seem to find in the docs how tracks can be recorded...
Is there an app?
Do I need to be in contact with the server to record a track?
Do I need to ask my friends to send me gpx exports if they aren't on strava?
Do you envision an integration with opentrailmap so in can share trails without having to expose Wanderer to public?
Recording is currently not possible with wanderer itself. I personally use osmAnd to record my trails and import them into wanderer. If you don't want to expose wanderer to the public your friends would need to send you their trails, yes. But I guess that's no different with any other service.
There's also a more lightweight alternative for recording tracks called OpenTracks. It can export the data in KMZ, KML, GPX or CSV format.
So I went to the demo and I have a few questions:
- Couldn't figure out how to use 3d in demo (not critical)
- developer discord link on github is expired
- distinction between "public" and "shared" trails isn't clear
- "Completion Status" for trails... what does this mean?
- Couldn't import a trail in demo:
haystack-mountain-101522-105940.gpx
{"message":"TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id')"}
I am actually really impressed with what you have so far, and I'd love to start using this!
Does it integrate with Garmin as well?
Unfortunately Garmin does not offer their API to private consumers: https://developer.garmin.com/gc-developer-program/program-faq/
I have not found a way to pull the data without API access.
They do, check fittrackee they have a python sync to garmin, I use it
I read below that you activate the 3D terrain using the mountain icon, but I still can't get it to work with Firefox. I've tried the demo site with the same results. Is it maybe some sort of proprietary Google thing?
Edit: I see now in the docs that I need to point it at my own terrain data. I'll look into that.
Have a look at the demo site. Everything is set up there already. I personally use the generous free tier of MapTiler.
