Looking for an open source or self hosted map tool similar to google my maps
Basically looking for an open source alternative to google my maps, to plan out trips or share recommendations with friends.
I've tried using uMap (OSM) for mexico city, but it has a lot of missing or outdated data.
For opensource maps, it will be open street map. If it is outdated for you area, open a few issues, add a few things yourself, and you will notice that others will join to help.

11https://gpx.studio/ is very good for trip planning.
11I use osmand on Android. Bit of a leaning curve to start as you need to download the maps you want and set up features, but then it is available offline as well and can include topographical and trails or other data if you're not just traveling in cities.
10I had no idea they have hiking trails! You opened a whole new world for me!
4When you say "trails", you mean just forest paths in general, or marked ones? Idk about rest of the word but over here we have some unmarked paths, but there are some that are marked in color (both on hiking maps and in the actual forest as well). There is only one app I know off that has these marked paths and it's by a local "google-like" company - wonder if I can get this on some of the FOSS apps or I'm stuck with what I have

Organic maps on fdroid. Data from osmand but without the learning curve.
11What kind of data do they use from Osmand?
4None. They ment from Open Street Map

What learning curve is there in Osmand? Bunch of extra features but they can be ignored.
Just got downvoted but no one answered :(

I'm using Osmand. I think this is the most advanced one. If there is a better one, I can get your recommendations for Android.
6Do you plan and share on web (laptop or pc) or on mobile? I use OSMand web for planning and syncs with OSMand Android (paid version).
5Normally plan on web then access on phone. OSM seemingly was missing a lot of places ive been to in mexico and would recommend and it took a while to add just 2-3 places.
