Features & Capabilities

The recorded GPS traces are easily exportable in GPX format for integration with OpenStreetMap tools like JOSM or direct uploads to OpenStreetMap.

With flexible background map options, you can view your tracks over an OpenStreetMap base or work offline without a background if data is limited. OSMTracker supports detailed journey tracking and tagging, making it an ideal companion for outdoor activities, mapping, and exploration tasks. The extension also supports community collaboration through translation and open source availability, ensuring continuous improvement and versatility.

Recent reviews

Photos are not stored anywhere, or if they are, they are so hard to find that I am running out of ideas. Just lost all of the photos I took on my 100km+ tour. I recommend using something more reliable. If I am wrong and the photos are accessible after all, will change this review.
