Lantea Maps
Display maps and record (GPS) tracks of your location. This web app is mainly targeted at mobile devices and intended for people finding their way around as well as documenting travels. Maps are being displayed in default "Mapnik" OpenStreetMap (OSM) style by default, but other styles like Cycle Map or Transport Map are available. The second feature is "tracking" of locations, meaning the ability to display your location and record a track of your movements for documentation. This track (most useful if you have a GPS receiver in or connected to your device) can be saved in GPX format (on desktop or Android) or uploaded to OpenStreetMap (and then downloaded to other computers from there). You can use those files with many applications to display them and show others where you have been or e.g. edit OpenStreetMap on the basis of that recorded information. Note that Lantea Maps does not send any location data to anyone else (unless you upload to OSM), it's recorded locally on your device only. The app name "Lantea" is based on a fictional mostly-ocean planet in the "Stargate: Atlantis" TV series, on which the Ancients erected the artificial "island" city of Atlantis. The source code is openly licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL2), see https://github.com/KaiRo-at/lantea and resources listed in the README there.
