SEGLY
There are many applications for visualising and analysing your GPS tracks. But which one should you choose based on your needs? Here is an honest comparison of three popular tools.
Strava: the social network for sport
Strava is primarily a community platform. It displays your basic statistics (distance, D+, pace) and lets you compare yourself with other athletes via segments. However, in-depth analysis of your GPX data remains limited in the free version, and personalised segmentation is absent.
Komoot: the route planner
Komoot excels at route planning and discovering new roads. Its elevation profiles are clear and its trail database is very rich. However, it is not designed to analyse an existing track in detail.
Segly: advanced analysis
Segly focuses on one thing: analysing your GPX track in depth. Slope, distance, elevation or key-point segmentation, PDF export, detailed statistics per segment... No account is required and your data stays private.
