Nextcloud Maps

🌍🌏🌎 The whole world fits inside your cloud!

• 🗺 Beautiful map: Using OpenStreetMap and Leaflet, you can choose between standard map, satellite, topographical, dark mode or even watercolor! 🎨
• ⭐ Favorites: Save your favorite places, privately! Sync with GNOME Maps and mobile apps is planned.
• 🧭 Routing: Possible using either OSRM, GraphHopper or Mapbox.
• 🖼 Photos on the map: No more boring slideshows, just show directly where you were!
• 🙋 Contacts on the map: See where your friends live and plan your next visit.
• 📱 Devices: Lost your phone? Check the map!
• 〰 Tracks: Load GPS tracks or past trips. Recording with PhoneTrack or OwnTracks is planned.

Future plans:

• 📆 Events on the map: Know where you need to go next!
• 🗺 Different projections: The Mercator projection is very biased, as you can see from The True Size of Africa. Another view like the Gall-Peters projection would be a possibility.
