This site would display the same sort of information as All Trails: descriptions, pictures, waypoints, information about trail dangers, trail maps, time to complete the trail, distance, elevation gain, hiking season, etc.
I apologize if this is not the right community for this post. If there is a more appropriate community, please let me know, and I will repost this there.
Let me introduce you OpenStreetMap, the wikipedia of maps
Ah, my apologies, I wasn’t specific enough in my intent for the post. I am looking for something akin to AllTrails – you search for a trail, and the site provides you with all of the relevent information: descriptions, pictures, waypoints, information about trail dangers, maps (that’s where OpenStreetMap would come in), time to complete the trail, distance, elevation gain, hiking season, etc.
EDIT: I have now updated the post so that it is more accurate in its intent.
OrganicMaps maybe? Probably not but worth checking out
That’s a fine recommendation! Thank you!
Opened OsmAnd installed from F-Droid, enabled “hiking routes”, checked one I’ve completed yesterday. It shows: name, operator, trail on the map, length, altitude over distance (graph), average altitude, total uphill climb, total downhill. Pictures might be available as a plugin, not sure; no season info or dangers info in sight. Hope that helps.
While I do agree that these features are very useful, and interesting, they are unfortunately not the type of service that I am looking for. I encourage you to check out AllTrails, so that you can see an example of what I mean.
I’m not arguing, I just wanted to save you time.
Maybe Wikiloc fits the bill here
It’s highly regional and depends entirely on where you live
Hi there, I was going to post this on your crosspost on [email protected] which is where I saw this first. I see that you’re more of an end user rather than someone uploading this info, but I’m gonna dump my spiel regardless I’m afraid:
If you are going to put this info somewhere I would suggest you dump the info on OpenStreetMap. The information you put onto OSM will get used EVERYWHERE else- komoot, alltrails, Osmand, Organic Maps, you name it. And the license is permissive so everyone else can use it. All Trails (to take an example) is all very well and good but all the nice pics, all the info, all your time and energy gets put into their nice little closed website which they then use to make THEIR website better and nobody else’s!
So at the very least, put the info you collect into OpenStreetMap first, and then elsewhere. There is a lot more info you can put into OSM than you may think at first glance. Width of trails, Trail difficulty, trail visibility, etc etc. All this gets put into tags. (even trail dangers if I remember correctly) This info then will improve the hiking experience for everyone using a mapping application around where you have mapped. (Everyone of course, except for people using google maps or apple maps, yuk!)
Now this extra bit is tailored more towards your original question, as an end user. The closest thing I can think of is https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/ as someone else put in here. The info, of course, comes from OSM. If the trail you are looking for isn’t marked there, you can put it into OSM and it will eventually make it onto that website. (As well as Osmand, and Organic Maps, and Komoot, and… you get me)
I looked at options late last year and it’s All Trails or some other smaller proprietary communities. Would be nice if there was a FOSS community, I’d be concerned if All Trails started taking all that data and charging for access.
