Comment on Is there a federated Strava alternative?
Ulrich@feddit.org 3 weeks agoI can’t even see it on a map? All I can see is a white line. Seems like it could be a good product to integrate into another platform.
How do you record with that? Is there some sort of hardware integration?

Yes, seeing the trace geometry only with no map is a letdown. That’s why I suggested the visualizer in another comment.
OSM doesn’t produce any hardware. They are a wiki-based world mapping effort. In addition, they run a PNG tile provider (so you can embed their map on a website), an article wiki for how to edit the map etc. and the trace repository.
You can use OSM and record traces using various apps mentioned on their wiki.

I know what OSM is, thank you. I don’t use apps for a variety of reasons. I spent good money on a bike computer for that.

Good bike computers like Garmin allow GPX export so HW compatibility is there. It’s a few manual steps but you can make the process automatic for example by syncing your HW tracker to Tapiriik, which then can auto-download GPX files to your computer via Dropbox, and then you can auto-upload those to OSM with one of these scripts running on your machine.

Cool, thanks!
