Show HN: Ambulate – Detailed Trip Planning

Ambulate was created because planning hiking trips using spreadsheets and various map solutions got chaotic. I wanted an app to manage and map multi day trip itineraries in the outdoors/backcountry.

Features - Manage itineraries - Add activities and map markers - Add routes (upload GPX or plot by hand on map) - Desktop and mobile

It is free to try (login using Google or create a user). Alternatively the slides on the home page give an idea of the UI.

I'll appreciate any thoughts and feedback you care to share:)

I get that ambulate just means to walk around but it gives the sense to something medical (as an American).

That was my reaction as well to seeing the name. It makes me think of both ambulance and amputate, which are not good associations.

The usage of the word is reminiscent of ambulatory which has a distinctive medical jargon connotation to my ear.
