What is TREK?
A standout opensource self-host project on GitHub — host on your own server for full control over your data and costs.
Main components
- Day plans: drag places, notes and bookings between days with undo, or drop a map marker straight onto a day
- Maps: Leaflet, Mapbox GL or MapLibre GL (OpenFreeMap, no token) with clustering, photo markers, route lines and a whole-trip route overview
- Places: search the TREK Places index and OpenStreetMap with no key, or Google Places and Amap with one. Descriptions, hours and photos from Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, plus a rating ...
- Explore: nearby places by category for the map view, from the TREK Places index with Overpass as fallback
- Routes: auto-sort a day (nearest neighbour then 2-opt, locked stops and hotels stay put), a travel mode per leg over OSRM or Valhalla, then open the day in Google Maps or CoMaps and a place in seve...
- Public transport: door-to-door itineraries over Transitous, or Google where Transitous has no data
- Import and export: Google Maps and Naver Maps lists, Google Maps directions links, GPX, KML and KMZ in; GPX and an ICS feed per trip or across all trips out
- Weather: 16-day forecast from Open-Meteo, no key, and the archive for dates beyond it
The biggest strength is active opensource community — fast bug fixes, regular features, no abandonment risk.
Best for self-host enthusiasts wanting to try a strong-community opensource project.
