@churley79 hmm. Can’t get a good look without creating an account. I’ll have to pass.

Thanks for the suggestion, though.

@jdb skimming that page makes it seem like my interaction with the service is to improve their maps, not to create my own for my purposes. Is my understanding incorrect?

@jason @jdb the page doesn't seem to have anything for managing GPX tracks (from what I saw) but there should be software packages available that leverage the OSM data to do what you're looking for.

@jason @KemoNine Seems that way to me, too. Why should I have all of these Android tools to do what Jason describes, but none for a Mac desktop? Even Gnome maps does this better.

@jdb @jason I have no idea. I caved awhile back and went with Locus on Android for my mapping needs. I generally gave up on the desktop side.

It may have something to due with the phones being mini, high end computers and "more sexy" for development than traditional desktop work.

@jdb @jason no. If you digg deeper in the OSM community and tools you will see it's a strong database with massive customizing ways. I use it on most of my mobile devices incl. displaying tracks. There may be a OSM user group in your area, just contact them with your questions.

@tethre have you used that for yourself?

@jason no. but i trust them to make useful stuff.

@jason ps: maybe https://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/ is helpful as well?

@tethre there may be something in there. Thank you 🙂
