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

• Drag & drop planner — organise places into day plans with reordering and cross-day moves
• Interactive map — Leaflet or Mapbox GL with 3D buildings, terrain, photo markers, clustering, route visualization
• Place search — Google Places (photos, ratings, hours) or OpenStreetMap (free, no API key)
• Day notes — timestamped, icon-tagged notes with drag-and-drop reordering
• Route optimisation — auto-sort places and export to Google Maps
• Weather forecasts — 16-day via Open-Meteo (no key) + historical climate fallback
• Category filter — show only matching pins on the map
• Reservations — flights, accommodations, restaurants with status, confirmation numbers, files

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.
