Biketory is a web application that allows cyclists to import their GPX traces and visualise the closed geographic surfaces covered on an interactive map.
Upload your GPX files, and Biketory automatically detects closed loops in your routes. These surfaces are then displayed on a map and divided into hexagons to track your progress.
The map is divided into hexagons. Each time one of your rides crosses a hexagon, it becomes acquired and your score on that hexagon increases.
When your score on a hexagon is the highest among all users, that hexagon becomes conquered. Other riders can take it back by riding through it more times than you — so keep pedalling!
Biketory was born from the passion of a cycling enthusiast who never tires of exploring new gravel paths. Setting off on an adventure, discovering an unknown trail, riding for the sheer joy of riding — that is the spirit of the project. The idea was simple: have a fun way to visualise all the ground covered over your rides, and turn each loop into a small victory on the map.
Biketory is an open source project. The code is available on GitHub.
