  • Sorry for the late reply.

    I started reitti and it is indeed a pretty painless setup, so respect for that.

    Reitti is entirely based on a timeline, whereas I record trips and tracks, which are based on location. This is mostly for hiking, but I do record long drives, canoe trips, and the occasional low flight in a Cessna (for Search and Rescue).

    This is what my current gps track management looks like:

    For my needs, I often will export particular trails or paths to fellow hikers and my Search and Rescue team. Having the option to go through a list of tracks is essential so I can share trail gpx with folks. Because there is no real way to identify specific tracks or export them in Reitti, I can’t use Reitti as it is now.

    Other blockers for me using Reitti are:

    • I need more control over track colour for different trips
    • A basic track editor (to crop tracks when I forget to turn off GPS)
    • Playback doesn’t seem to show my position, what is the function of this feature?

    Overall, I like your project, I just don’t really understand the use case.

    Good work and I wish you good luck.



  • Not the person who commented, but:

    Wanderer on the the other hand, seems to be designed as a planning and tracking app for single trips. Correct me if I am wrong.

    You aren’t wrong, but I’m going to try reitti for single tracks anyway, because 1) wanderer has introduced some serious breaking changes that prevent me from upgrading and 2) I think reitti would fit my use case of sort of hybrid between GPS always on and single tracks.

    I’m a bit of a GPS nerdin the sense that I collect my trips. Car, hike, walk, plane, ferry… I just think it’s neat so see where i’ve traveled.
