A few years ago I'd recommend Gaia, but it's gone downhill ever since the acquisition. Komoot or onX Backcountry may have what you're looking for. Caltopo is great for maps, but it's less user-friendly and doesn't have curated content.
What exactly do they even do
fwiw hosting, moderating, and curating the community content, plus maintaining a cross-platform app with a fairly polished UI is not free
(source: I work for somewhat of a competitor and I like paying my bills)
Honestly the all trails stuff I don't even find to be worth it in my area. It doesn't have the trails, it has "trails."
i.e. it stitches 5 individual trails together into a mega trail with some roads you have to walk and then says oh look, a 6th trail over here!
I've been hiking for years and just use park maps and Google maps.
If you're up for hosting your own, https://github.com/Flomp/wanderer
This is amazing, I need to install this ASAP. Are you using it yourself?
Wonder if there’s some sort of resource to import great hikes from.
I'm afraid not, it's on my to-do list and has been for a while
That's beautiful! Add federation and this could really be something I feel (and obviously there'd have to be a few good public servers because fediverse people and hikers probably don't have a huge overlap).
Federation would be incredible!
Komoot might work for you? German, I believe?
Caltopo
I still look at Alltrails sometimes to look for trails and routes. You can download a GPX track with a free account, then upload it to whatever app you want.
Caltopo is amazing. The app sucks. The web app is the best tool for the job though.
Tbh I use caltopo on my computer to make maps and Garmin Explore on my phone because I have an Inreach
Yeah that's the move. Caltopo is easily the most useful tool on the internet for hiking. I just wish the android app was full featured.
