Questions
What's the best tool for mapping hikes and rides?
GPS Tracks is the strongest match — GPS Tracks is explicitly a GPS app for hiking, biking and other outdoor activities that records routes and waypoints, which directly supports a combined map view of past tracks and locations.
Is there a tool that fully solves this?
8 products match this closely.
What won't these tools cover?
Acts mainly as a guide to nearby hikes and published routes rather than a personal archive of your recorded activities. · Emphasizes curated trail navigation rather than a unified personal-history map of your own recorded activities. · Designed for discovering local trails rather than serving as a centralized, color-coded archive of your personal GPS routes. · Primarily a route discovery and planning tool, so it may not provide the consolidated, color-coded archive of past hikes and rides you described.
