    • Joe Crawford I can't seem to export data, but inferentially I have IG posts where I tagged @Dawnpatrol.app - https://artlung.com/blog/tag/dawnpatrol-app/ which
  • Al Abut wants to do it manually as an experiment
  • https://wandrer.earth/
  • Looking at strava maps that show what pathways Mike has taken
  • https://www.alltrails.com/ (paid service which locks you out of information about what areas safe from a trail)
• Mike's use case is more about routes and not just exercise data, e.g. when he goes birding.
