Hey everyone, wanderer recently celebrated it’s 10th anniversary. Well, as far as minor versions go at least.
First and foremost: 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.
Next: Thank you for almost 1.2k stars on GitHub. It’s a great motivation to see how well-received wanderer is.
By far the most requested feature since my last post was the possibility to track your acitivities. This is now possible on the new profile page which shows various statistics to help you gain better insights into your trailing/running/biking habits. Lists have also received a major upgrade allowing you easily bundle a multiday hike and share it with other users.
If you want to give wanderer a try without installing it you can try the demo. When you are ready to self-host it you can head over to wanderer.to to see the full documentation and installation guide. If you really like wanderer and would like to support its development directly you can buy me a coffee.
Thanks again! Cheers Flomp
This is cool and I might give it a shot, but I have to say the name can easily be confused with wandrer.earth. Slightly different purpose but it’s in the same space, so at first I thought this was an open source variant of it.
