OSM Dashboard for OpenTracks vs Trails Hito
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
OSM Dashboard for OpenTracks
OpenStreetMap dashboard for OpenTracks. Can be used as standalone GPX and location viewer as well. It shows a selected track with start- and endpoints on a map from OpenStreetMap based on the Mapsforge VTM library. The default is an online map, but offline maps are supported as well. With offline maps, there is no necessity for a mobile data plan. The default map is provided by OpenStreetMap.org. Join the community and help to improve the map, see www.openstreetmap.org/fixthemap Please consider downloading an offline map to decrease the server load and save your mobile data plan. Some offline maps can be found here: - Mapsforge - Freizeitkarte Android - OpenAndroMaps Some maps require special themes to render correctly! These need to be downloaded and configured accordingly. Offline maps can be downloaded via the menu "Map download" or by visiting the above mentioned websites and click the download links. Some browsers (e.g. Firefox) require a long click on the link and "Open link in external app" and then choose OSMDashboard. Manual downloaded offline maps or maps shared with other apps can be opened from your Android device. Select the directory in the menu "Map directory".
