SEGLY
There are many apps for viewing and analyzing your GPS tracks. But which one should you choose based on your needs? Here’s an unbiased comparison of three popular tools.
Strava: The Social Network for Sports
Strava is first and foremost a community platform. It displays your basic statistics (distance, elevation gain, pace) and lets you compare yourself to other athletes through segments. However, in-depth analysis of your GPX data is limited in the free version, and there’s no option for custom segments.
Komoot: The Route Planner
Komoot excels at route planning and discovering new trails. Its elevation profiles are clear, and its trail database is extensive. However, it isn’t designed to analyze a completed route in detail.
Segly: Advanced Analysis
Segly focuses on one thing: analyzing your GPX track in depth. Segmentation by slope, distance, elevation gain, or key points; PDF export; detailed statistics by segment… No account is required, and your data remains private.
