Wordpress plugins are available to use OSM as a source for slippy maps, for example https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm <https://wordpress.org/plugins/osm/#description>/ There are more detail on the web site http://wp-osm-plugin.hanblog.net/examples/display-gpx-file/ I do not have personal experience of using it.
I don't know offhand of a way to automatically upload a GPS trace from a phone to the Wordpress site....but someone else might. Alternatively you could geotag blog posts or photos to generate a route on the map. - Jez On Tue, 5 Feb 2019 at 21:29 Gareth L <[email protected]> wrote: > I’d not discount AIS.
