Description Gerion 2022-05-18 22:37:09 UTC
I'm regularly doing bike tours. For that, I usually drive to the start by train (so book a ticket which can be added to Itinerary), ride my bike several days to the end location and travel back with a train (which also can be added to Itinerary). Also, the hotel visits of the intermediate locations can be added to Itinerary.
But, the main (bike) route cannot be added to Itinerary.
Also, if you travel by car, the routes cannot be added.

So, what to you think of supporting GPX tracks (which can be annotated with time stamps for the correct display in Itinerary) and maybe also some links for arbitrary routes (the date, however, has to specified in Itinerary then)?

Examples are:
https://brouter.m11n.de/#map=12/50.8546/7.0673/CyclOSM,Waymarked_Trails-Cycling,m11n%20Gravel%20%E2%AD%90%EF%B8%8F%E2%AD%90%EF%B8%8F%E2%AD%90%EF%B8%8F,CXB%20Gravel,Smoothness&lonlats=7.103992,50.76757;7.090988,50.772375;7.085538,50.773325;7.081118,50.773162;7.074423,50.772348;7.056699,50.772428;7.036486,50.781303;7.03301,50.785074;7.027817,50.793186;7.026873,50.79674;7.026701,50.799642;7.027259,50.802382;7.026701,50.810083;7.025499,50.813067;6.998549,50.822013;6.989365,50.849524;7.003226,50.855133;7.012324,50.862231;7.018976,50.867051;7.031894,50.87236;7.044082,50.876855;7.047729,50.885602;7.010307,50.892233;6.997991,50.893938;6.976533,50.909068;6.970482,50.915372;6.963401,50.934146;6.9628,50.939959;6.96147,50.940934&profile=fastbike (brouter can export a GPX file, too)
https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_osrm_bike&route=53.5531%2C9.9924%3B53.4567%2C9.9852#map=13/53.5050/9.9811&layers=Y

Start and stop may be displayed directly in Itinerary then. The route itself may be suited for a map app.

Right, individual transport modes aren't really supported yet. Importing GPX tracks for this is a good idea though, and shouldn't be terribly far away, we already have GPX export which we would just need to "invert" for this.

The brouter GPX example is relatively "bare" though, that's really just GPS points along the track, not even names for the start/destination locations. Technically not a blocker, but this means we can only show something meaningful after additional online queries.

Hello,

There's a case where such thing would be useful even without names displayed if there's nothing in the GPX trace. I can imagine:

27th of June
- 10h -> 12h Train: City A -> City B,  ->
- Bike (clicking on this shows the map with the GPX trace)
- 15h -> 16h Train: City C -> City D

It is obvious at a glance that the bike is most likely between City B and City C between 12h and 15h even if those things are not explicit in the bike entry. It would be still very useful. Hours and location names could be manually editable too.

The gpx trace could also be integrated in the whole map for the whole trip.

I actually installed KDE Itinary to check if it allowed something like this. Amazing tool btw.
