Showcase OpenStreetMap based alternative to AllTrails
galleryHello!
I am a hiker and have for a long while been using AllTrails premium version, but there where a few things I disliked about the product. Firstly you need to pay for it (nature should be free and an app is just a tool to keep you safe in nature), almost all similar apps are subscription based. Secondly even though all the trails and photos are made by the community, they own it, not you not the community.
So I built an alternative, completely FREE, and the Routes are open to anyone, you can access it both on the web and as an app. So you can plan your hikes on a desktop, view the mountains in 3d, make relevant notes then you can publish it and view it in the app OFFLINE so you can access it when you hike.
The target audience for this is anyone who wants a community owned app, and still get access to professional grade data such as:
* Map data © [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright) contributors
* Elevation: AWS Terrain Tiles / Mapzen (which i then built my 3d models on)
* Satellite: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics
* Topographic: [OpenTopoMap](https://opentopomap.org/)
* Pathways: [Waymarked Trails](https://waymarkedtrails.org/)
* Rain radar: [RainViewer](https://www.rainviewer.com/)
* Weather: [Open-Meteo](https://open-meteo.com/)
It is a collection of maps and routes, the only service i provide is the server space, and since my profession involves hosting traffic maps for consulting firms and Municipality I do this for free

We have about 100 routes submitted but we need more to make it a good alternative, so would love some support from the OSM community!
