Any Travel Log w/Map and Dates?
Any Travel Log w/Map and Dates?
Curious if there's any travel apps or sites I'm missing that will log your trips, manually or automatically, with the locations on a map along with your dates of visit. I was just hoping to keep track of my trips in a more comprehensive way, and being able to visualize them while also being able to search by timeframe or by each trip would be nice too.
The Polarsteps app does all of this automatically, but it's proprietary and collects a ton of your data. All alternativetos are proprietary as well.
OsmAnd Maps has a great looking tagging system, with different folders and icons. I know everyone here likes it, but as a casual observer it's clunky and I don't know how usable it'll be for this under the free plan that allows 7 map downloads. It looks like I'll have to download maps for every place I've been. Organic Maps allows bookmarks, but has less tagging features than OsmAnd and is also clunky and requires downloads.
Excel / Libre does great in the manual organization of data for trips, locations, and dates, but Excel's maps are meant for data, with charts where you need to choose either a detailed region or worldview chart.
Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Nextcloud PhoneTrack app would work, or Traccar if you want something standalone. They're both purely automatic where they log your position at an interval, but you can look back through a map and see where you were.
Nextcloud also has a Maps app for creating your own map with waypoints and such.
So cool to learn about these, thanks! I've tried and failed to self-host Nextcloud in the past, but really need to give it another go. Their contacts app is also something I've wanted for a while now.
Nextcloud aio on docker is pretty easy. You just need to setup the reverse proxy really (i think on port 11000 if i remember correctly). It does come with apache so you could open it directly in your router but guessing you might have other services.
