1 million page views

Last month Wikiloc reached the magic number of 1 million page views per month.

I am very honoured by all of you that visit Wikiloc and contribute to the community uploading your tracks.

Thanks guys!

Wikiloc trails now in Google Earth!

The trails from Wikiloc have been added to Google Earth! See post in official Google Blog

Now the millions of users of Google Earth can watch your trails just by clicking on the Wikiloc icon in the Gallery on the left menu (picture below). You can also use Google Earth to explore the more than 110.000 trails from Wikiloc.


Fig. Google Earth's screenshot showing how to activate Wikiloc layer (click for a larger view)

If you still don't have Google Earth, you may download it for free here

BTW: Please expect a delay of a week or so until the trails you upload in Wikiloc's website appear in Google Earth


Enjoy!

Wikiloc in Deutsch, Greek, Ukrainian...

Thanks to André, Arion and Larry Wikiloc is available in Deutsch, Greek and Ukrainian! and more translations are coming soon.

Btw:please apologize to those of you that didn't get the sign up confirmation email during the last few days. I'm working with the ISP to ensure that this won't occur again.

Thanks!

View your trails in 3D within the browser

I've just released a new feature in Wikiloc that allows you to visualize trails in 3D without leaving the browser. The following screenshot speaks by itself:


Obviously the great news is that it is a 3D view of a GPS trail within the browser

If you want to give it a try you may do so by clicking on the "Earth" button (red circle at the top of the screenshot) while viewing a GPS route and GE will appear embedded in the map window. For me it's a dream come true.

Btw: if you use Linux or simply prefer to visualize the GPS tracks with Google Earth, you still have the handy link "View in Google Earth" (red circle on the right side of the screenshot) to get the KML file.


Enjoy! :)

Wikiloc featured in Natural de Aragon magazine

It's an honour for Wikiloc to appear featured in this Spring's edition of "Natural de Aragon" magazine (edited by the Spanish Environment Department of Gobierno de Aragon).

Aragon is a beautiful region of Spain near the highest mountains in the Pirinees with many good options to do outdoor activities in the region surrounded of gorgeous landscapes.

Wikiloc available in Dutch!

Thanks to Chris Boogmans wikiloc is already translated to Dutch. More translations are very welcome, from the beginning of wikiloc I've always tried to bring down language barriers and any help in doing that is highly appreciated, just drop me an e-mail at jordi A T wikiloc.com.

You can visit the about Wikiloc page for a complete list of collaborators.

New server upgrade

Tonight I've been busy migrating wikiloc to a faster box. After almost 2 years of good service, it was already time to give a break to the former server. From now on looking for our next GPS trail or just browsing photos and maps will be much faster :)

Enjoy!

Btw: if you're getting the 'plumber' page, pages not found or other issues, please be patient since DNS refreshes may span several hours
