The increase in pervasive commercial surveillance has me wanting to stop uploading my GPS MTB ride data to places like Strava and Trailforks. But I still want to be able to see easy to use trail maps with my data overlaid, like Strava or Trailforks. Bonus points if it can integrate with a Bluetooth (or ANT+) heart rate monitor and show basic fitness stats like duration and average speed. Double bonus points if it integrates with something like ProBikeGarage to track distance and hours of ride time for monitoring parts service intervals.
Does that exist anywhere with data privacy? I’m happy to spend some money on a dedicated device if I can sync and view the data on my phone, but still don’t want it in the stupid cloud. Outside seems to be trying to turn Trailforks into a social network and it’s giving me huge Facebook creepiness vibes.
What features do you use? Their website seems pretty slim but makes it appear that their apps are primarily about home fitness training, not necessarily trail mapping. Being a Polish company might help as they would have designed everything with GDPR in mind, even if they’re not required to avoid invasive tracking of international users.
I like that it uses open street maps which have a way better trail coverage than google maps. However the only feature I needed was the ability to save my tracks there which helps to see what all trails I've rode on already.
