Hey there,
it’s been a while since my last post. Since then - with the help of this awesome community - I have added multiple new features and fixed a lot of bugs.
Most importantly there is now a working demo alongside a shiny new landing page.
And here are some more fun features I added since then:
- Trail drawing: in addition to uploading you GPX, TCX or KML files, you can now also simply draw a trail by defining multiple waypoints. The route between them will be calculated automatically.
- Sharing trails: simple and straightforward - you can share your trails with other users and let them view or edit.
- Printing trails: there is now a dedicated print view. Plan your adventure digitally and then take it with you on paper.
- wanderer is now available in 8 different languages (thanks to translators from the community). If you would like to contribute a translation you can do so here.
- You can now bulk upload multiple trails at once simply by putting them in a dedicated auto-upload folder
And much more. I’d be happy if you give it a try in case you haven’t yet.

If you guys like hiking and stuff, there’s this cool open source app called trail sense on f-droid and it’s just so much feature packed…
I don’t hike, so I only use it for it’s pedometer capabilities and a hypothetical situation where “I might get really lost” but the amount of features it has for hiking and survival is crazy and so I think deserves to be more known.
Yeah, I have trail sense installed - but everytime I’m out and about I just can’t work out how to use the myriad functions it has (like how high something is, etc)…
I really ought to RTFM and try to use it properly
Haven’t seen RTFM casually dropped in conversation online in… um… a while…
You’ve been hanging out on the intartoobz at least as long as I have. Circa the paleolithic era, or so…
I’ve been here since before dial-up. I knew Janet in the early days 😉
lol RTFM took me a while to figure that one out
