If anyone is interested i develop a free and open source alternative to komoot. I am currently using it for a 6 months trip in Europe :
https://github.com/Akylas/alpimaps
The idea of it is to be able to do everything offline, from map browsing to route computing, elevation profile...
I am 99% sure i use the same library for route computing which is the amazing Valhalla computing framework.
It propose multiple routes likes komoot, can show route stats, compute elevation profiles. But it can also do much more like compute different ascents or show slopes percentages without online data. To use the full potential of AlpiMaps you need to generate your maps. I can generate them but i dont have the fundings to host the maps on a server (would need a lot of space and computing power to regularly generate maps per country, per regions ...).
Instead i explain how to generate the maps for any region you see fit. Also AlpiMaps has a very small user panel right now so it had many bugs i am sure (especially on iOS which i dont use daily).
I am though 100% willing to fix/improve/add any feature. Just share/explain on github. I am not often on HN so if you have any question please use github |
