Ohne GPS: EU-Forscher entwickeln satellitenunabhängiges Navigationssystem

Mit Ranging Mode (R-Mode) treibt das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt mit Partnern eine Alternative zu satellitengebunden Navigationssystemen voran.

The feature in the mapy.cz (online & app) offering that is missing, is that one cannot put arbitrary waypoints when building a route.

But then I found out that there is https://gpxmapy.cz/

Discovery of the day!

It allows all sorts of waypoint layouts and integrates directly with mapy.cz.

#FediAsk / #BikeTooter : Is there a #free and #opensource software ( #FOSS ) on #Android for #bike #navigation which allows to upload a #GPX route, *easily* and quickly modify it before as well as *during* navigation, and at the end download the GPX file? I love the #OsmAnd navigation tool, but, since I am by far not a #geek ,somehow fail to quickly modify the tracks.
Thank you.
