trad - The ultimate app for climbing in Saxony

A free utility for climbing in the Saxon Switzerland area providing the following main features:

• Personal climbing journal (not yet implemented)
• Climbing guide, aggregating publicly available data from various sources:
  • OpenStreetMap
  • Teufelsturm
• Small knowledge base with useful information (not yet available)
• Ability to work completely offline

Setup & Running

When running the mobile app for the first time (locally or on any mobile device), it will ask you to import a route database file (which is currently not publicly available for legal reasons). If you don't have this file, you can create it by yourself using the scraper:

1. Setup the Route Data Scraper
2. Run the following commands from the source root directory:

cd scraper/src
mkdir output_directory
python scraper.py output_directory

The new route database file is written into output_directory. Depending on your network speed, running the scraper may take up to an hour or even longer. Provide -v to enable some more verbose debug log, which will give you some kind of progress feedback.
