    Using trek in Japan right now.
    It’s awesome!

    Abd the dev reaponded in a criticism I had in the discussions. Very well done and the offline mode is sick if internet during travel is spotty.

      Dawarich is a bit better in general.
      I run both at the same time, since both have their strengths.

        I ran both for a while and settled on Reiti. That was several versions back. I’m curious what makes you say Dawarich is better, and what unique use you get from each one?

          Dawarich:
          Better transport detection and statistics

          Reitti:
          Better track visualization (love the 3D map)

          But Dawarich has almost every feature that Reitti has and Reitti has less unique ones.

          And I run both because GPSLogger (Android App) can push tracks/points to both at the same time.

    I used Trek for my summer vacation. It worked OK, it was a life saver in the planning phase. and it ended up being my go to place for booking pdfs and to check departure times

    It had a lot of functionality, and I had little time to explore them.

    my biggest annoyance was that the packing list couldn’t be exported, but that has since been fixed

    i think i will use it next time too, I don’t see a reason for me to test alternatives

      Ditto on all this. The mobile UI was also lacking at the time I used it, especially concerning lists.

    For my trips I use Trek, AirTrail, and Dawarich.

    I picked Trek because it was most similar to Wanderlog which is what I used to use and it supported SSO. It seems to have a strong community and feature delivery, though my challenges with it is that it feels slow to load and its somewhat complicated to navigate.

    Trek has a beta Android and iOS app.

    Then AirTrail to track flights and see a cool display of everywhere I’ve flown and Dawarich shows my location history. Trek can then pull in my Dawarich and AirTrail history.

    These look like really cool options but for travel I can’t see past using Joplin for planning anything we may want to do along with a couple of images, brief description, pricing, opening hours, url etc & .pdf’s such as tickets or menus etc can be stored too.

    In addition I use OsmAnd+ with all potential places we might want to visit pre-saved. In Europia-land at least, public transport data has been fantastic & I love the Wiki data available in OsmAnd. Everything is available offline too.
