Is it feasible for something like this to have heatmaps?
Maybe the data could be shared/distributed via hypercore or similar.
I find heatmaps are my primary way of finding new mountain biking trails and routes.
- ivanjermakov 3mo agoDon't think anyone other than Strava and Komoot have sufficient user-generated trail database to be useful for your use-case.
- radec 3mo agoThat's possible. I use RideWithGPS, maybe a lot of people use it around here. Or maybe only two other people have ridden the route, it doesn't say, but it's still super useful for finding routes.
- stigi 3mo agoOSM has a heatmap feature. Users can contribute tracks and feed into it: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Heat_maps https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Heat_maps
- radec 3mo agoAwesome! Thanks. I'll look into it. Edit: hmmm I don't think I understand that wiki. Most of those are not the type of heatmap I was thinking of. I'll keep looking into it though.
- stigi 3mo agoIn fact they are called "Public GPS Traces" and can be enabled in the OSM layer inspector. I am not sure if anyone started distilling track recommendations from them yet though. Here's a link that has traces enabled (aka layer "G"): https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.47166/13.40590&layers=G https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/52.47166/13.40590&laye... There's also a list of recent uploaded traces: https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces https://www.openstreetmap.org/traces
- mgerdts 3mo agoAllTrails has a heat map feature as well. I think this feature is now paywalled.
