2024 wrap-up

18 February 2025 by Craig

Hi folks! A bit late to the game here, but I thought it would be nice to do a bit of reflection on 2024. 2024 saw a bunch of fun changes in Wandrer, highlights of which include:

  • A brand new map that looks better, is faster and nicer to navigate, fixed a lot of interface quirks with the previous maps, and also makes it a lot easier to add new features.

  • Added the first routing features for Wandrer, with these rolling out more widely to upgraded users in February.
  • Added support for syncing activities from RideWithGPS and Garmin (Garmin is currently for upgraded folks only). More services coming!
  • 9,956,804 activities processed in 2024
  • 30,924,894 new miles / 49,768,792 new km covered in 2024
  • 30,707 new places added to Wandrer in 2024
  • At the beginning of 2024, Wandrers had been to every country but 2: Eritrea and Equatorial Guinea. Eritrea has now been visited, so there’s only one left! You have your marching orders.
  • 100,000 active Wandrers!
  • 5 OpenStreetMap map updates
  • Lots of nice stories about people going places they’ve never been before.
  • We have collectively traveled 26% of the entire planet, or 12187981 miles / 19614654 km!.

All of this would not be possible without your support, so thank you so much. Wandrer is such a fun weird thing, and I’m glad that yall like it enough to let me keep working on it.

Your end-of-year stats should be available on your dashboard as well, so keep an eye out for those!

Activity editor is available

One of the more annoying aspects of Wandrer (for you and for me) is when your activities don’t match correctly: you traveled on a road or path but didn’t get credit for it.
