• Supports features such as favorites, tracks, GPX imports, routing, and photo location viewing

Recommended for

• Individuals and organizations already running a Nextcloud instance
• Privacy-conscious users who want to avoid Google Maps and similar tracking services
• Self-hosting enthusiasts and homelab users who value data ownership
• Teams needing to share and manage location-based data internally
