Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source browser extension that exports an entire outdoor-mapping account—including tracks, folders, photos, and metadata—into one ZIP file.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-22 issue.
For
Outdoor mapping users with substantial account archives
Worth noticing
The proposed archive combines GPX, GeoJSON, JSON, original photos, folders, and an errors file in one ZIP.

Field notes

The project defines a Portable Map Archive as a ZIP containing GPX, GeoJSON, and JSON files, with schemas, a validator, and a small reference reader. Its example layout also preserves collections, original photos, metadata, and failed-export records rather than reducing an account to isolated tracks. The page says exports run in the browser and go directly to the user’s computer, while the linked code is MIT licensed.
