Show HN: Ambulate – Detailed Trip Planning

(ambulate.app)

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Oh and your copyright is out of date.

Are any of these apps open source and available for self hosting? Currently I am using a combination of Google Maps, spreadsheets, Joplin notes, and email to plan my trips. An app that replaces all of that and I can self host would be ideal.

Edit: Additional feature would love to see -- merge the trip plan with photos from the trip and send draft or publish to SSG/blog of choice.

Ambulate is GPLv3, source code at https://github.com/oliverfields/tripplanner2.

It depends on Firebase for authorization and a S3 bucket for storage.

Copy dotenv.local_example to .env.local and add relevant info, then use npm run serve, to run locally.

Nice idea to merge trip plan and photos:)
