   Is there a resource where you can upload, share and discover hiking routes in somewhat like wikipedia-style?

   I am using Komoot app currently. It is good, but i don't feel like investing my own time and data to a closed paid platform with no ability to export and share the content freely.

     Collaborating on hiking routes sounds like something #OpenStreetMap should be able to do with attributes. I don't know if this already exists that way, it might.

     Does anyone deeper in the OSM community know?

     @clacke @bookwar One of the reasons I like using #OpenStreetMap instead of proprietary maps is that I (and other people) can add trails that are missing and correct trails that are wrong. So it ends up showing a lot more trails, more accurately, than something like Google maps.

     There are several phone apps based on OSM. I use #OsmAnd but I don't use it for editing the map (though you can); I record my track and then make my changes when I get back to my computer.
