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:)

How does this compare against something like Wanderlog?

Would be nice to see a little more detail on the individual features on the main page.

Oh and your copyright is out of date.

The concepts seem at first glance to be similar, but I think the main difference is that Ambulate emphasizes creating a map that can be used for actual navigation along side the itinerary (plotting routes and adding map markers).

Wanderlog seems to be more about organizing the overall activities, where the travel activities are just points on the itinerary, e.g. get a flight from A to B.
