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

    I love everything about wanderer, just wish that you could look at trails on a full-screened map on mobile. Currently pulling up the trail will provide a small map inside the webpage for you to see the trail, which on desktop works great, but mobile it feels like the map should be the more important aspect (similar to apps like osm, all trails and gaiagps). Because of this I am mostly using it as a database to then download the trail and open it in osm.
