OSMtracker
What problems does it solve?

OSMTracker solves the problem of efficiently documenting and recording routes for collaborative mapping projects. It allows users to mark significant points along their journeys with tags, voice notes, text, or photos, facilitating the collection of accurate data to improve maps in OpenStreetMap.

How does the tool work?

OSMTracker is a tool that allows you to track your route and mark significant points of interest. You can tag these points with a button, voice recording, text note, or photo. The data is exported in GPX format for use in OpenStreetMap tools like JOSM.

Open standards

The OSMTracker tool uses the open standard GPX to export recorded routes. This format is widely compatible with OpenStreetMap tools, such as JOSM, facilitating the integration and use of geospatial data in collaborative mapping projects.
