My son really wants to go hiking in Norway this summer so I'm looking at 7 day hikes. The SignaTUR Tafjordfjella looks good and not too challenging (also since we can stay in lodges so won't have such a heavy backpack) but does anyone have a recommendation for a maps app that can work with the GPX? Is OSM good for Norway? Obviously we will also have a paper map and I know it's signposted as well, but I always feel better with a GPX backup.

I’ve been tracking workouts on Strava for years. At some point, I wanted the data outside the app.

This article shows how to:
• ingest GPX from Apple Health / Strava
• store routes properly with PostGIS
• extract heart rate data
• render maps and server-side images
• all in a Quarkus-based Java backend

No dashboards. No vendor lock-in. Just data you own.
