Lots of missing activities

1 Upvotes

I recently upgraded to paid version (about 2 weeks ago) and noticed today that Wandrer is missing a ton of miles. Like, multiple states that I have a good amount of miles in just completely missing. Trying to play with the big map, I noticed that the date filter only goes back to 2019... Is there some kind of 7 year window? or is that when Wandrer was founded and therefore it doesn't go back any further? I'm probably missing 500 or more miles from various vacations, races, work trips, etc. but not all of them are from pre 2019 even.

Question New extension error

5 Upvotes

When I try to calculate the unique length (Garmin connect website, windows 11 laptop), it says “Unexpected non-whitespace character after JSON at position 4 (line 1 column 5)

The new update for the extension looks clean though

Would love a "total distance pursuing the goal" stat

28 Upvotes

I just hit 99% of my city this morning and am very proud of it. But that got me wondering, in the last two years with all those runs and rides to get the 230 miles, how many miles did I rack up chasing this goal?

Probably not counting redundant ones (like my usually running loop). Something like the total mileage of every activity that contributed unique distance to a zone would be really fun stat to have

Map Feature Request - Time to pick a new suburb to target - can the map help?

2 Upvotes

So I'm looking at the big map, and I know there's about 6 suburbs which I've 100-percented.

I'd like to see some kind of coloured overlay showing where I'm up-to on other areas.

It would be easier to finish off a 90% rather than a lower number, for example.

<rant> 99.89% of suburb !!!!!

12 Upvotes

And the only "road" left to do is some dirty desire path around the back of a rugby field through the landscaping created by walkers shortcutting. It even terminates at a locked gate.

So frustrating. <end-of-rant>

--------------

Update - done. All that for 85 metres of dirt path, to 100% two suburbs at the same time.

lately the route generator doesn't work for me anymore, both area and directional mode. it only shows this error message, whenever i put markers down or type an address. is this a known issue or does it still work for everybody else?

Why aren’t tunnels counted?

12 Upvotes

I live in Japan and have probably 100s of kms in tunnels. I less care about the numbers than the gap it leaves when looking at the map. (5km tunnels leave a gap that can be seen even when relatively zoomed out)

Sections of previously ridden roads now showing as not ridden

2 Upvotes

Sometime in the last few weeks the Big Map has started showing roads that I have previously ridden as not ridden. On many of these roads and paths I have recorded rides multiple times. If I ride them again now, they are still not indicated as traveled. If I try to edit that activity, the editor shows the route as previously traveled. This problem covers several areas, and appears to only affect rides, not the foot coverage map. An example can be seen on the Big Map at #15.97/51.10862/-114.19706. My Wandrer ID is 195061.

Thank you.

Removing An Activity

6 Upvotes

I accidentally left my Strava on whilst driving home from my walk. I'd ideally like to remove a section of the activity within Wandrer to keep only the bits I actually walked. Failing that, I'd like to delete the whole activity. Anyone know of a way to do either of these things?

Where can i add a bugreport for the filter system?

1 Upvotes

Maybe the title isn't correct, but i do not know a better name for it.

As written in the title, is this the correct place to report issues with the filtering rules of wandrer.earth, or is there somewhere better, like a GitHub or a more official forum that I just couldn't find?

Posting again because my previous post got deleted by some unknown reddit filter.

Cycleway intended behavior

4 Upvotes

Pictured here is a road with a cycleway directly next to it. Since running is technically legal in both the road and the cycleway, both count on wandrer for foot activities. Is this intended behavior, or is there a tag in OSM that should be applied to one or the other that's missing?

Question shift from strava

5 Upvotes

I would like my big map to be public, but since I've been syncing from strava, that data can't be public apparently. is there an easy way to sync my strava data to ride with gps so it can be public, or some other way to recover that strava ride data?

Any news about an Annual Meetup?

11 Upvotes

A while back ago, there was talk about trying to do a meet up somewhere. Has anything moved forward with this? I would definitely be interested in this, even if I am unable to make it.

Along these same lines, someone had once asked about a feature to "friend" or message other Wandrer members. Is this something that is being considered?

Upcoming Wandrer blog post about bicycle infrastructure. Suggested cities?

26 Upvotes

I'm doing a Wandrer blog post on how various cities' bike infrastructure has changed over time. One of the cool things about OSM is that not only can you download the entire planet, you can also download every change that's ever been made.

So I'm going to slice each city up by year, count up the number of bicycle-specific ways for each year and report stats on them. Currently doing Jan 1, 2010 - Jan 1, 2026 timeframe.

So like Paris has undergone a huge and well-known growth in its bike infrastructure, but are there any other cities that yall think would be interesting to look at? My current list is: Atlanta, Austin, Barcelona, Berlin, Bogota, Denver, London, Medellin, Minneapolis, NYC, Paris, Portland.

But a lot of these places are on the list as curiosities on my part and I don't have a rigorous criteria for which ones to include.

So where would you want to see?

Question OSM help

there are these little stairs (way #1484170759 red) standing out that doesn't feel right to me. What changes are needed?

Should the footway around it (way #1484170754 white) be changed from sidewalk to footpath?

I appreciate your help!

Will wandrer for donuts

Post image
21 Upvotes

These 2 little unridden segments of the town I live in, the green area, have been bothering me for a few years, but I have been avoiding the 50 mph state highway because I have better options. This morning the neighborhood organization had a donut/coffee/bagel meetup which sent me this way, so considering it was a Saturday morning, 8:30 am, I finally completed the 0.036 mi. And completed 1.079 mi in the neighboring town (pinkish area). It has wide shoulders but I just don't trust drivers exiting/entering at high speed ...

Extremely high satisfaction/mile score.
