Just another gpx trackmap plugin

Two years ago I had bronchitis and was sitting at home. Between the coughing I build 'just another gpxtrackmap'.for our own joomla-website.
No one contacted me about any problems with the scripts.
I don not know who it is using. But I expect it will be a very few users. Less than 5?
Due to the different license on the javascripts I can not offer it via joomla.org.
Please, do not use it commercially!
I am using Joomla 5.
In the past two years I had to change something with the language files because of a change in Joomla it self. And I prepared the PHP-scripts not to use the backward compatibility modus any-more.It should work in the upcoming joomla 6. But something could go wrong...
My joomla 4 test site has gone to the eternal electro-magnetic fields during an awfully wrong going test with another plugin...
Is someone still using joomla 4 in combination with my plugin?

Hi All

After the upgrade to Joomla 4 and PHP 8.0 we found problems with the current plug-in of Frank.
It takes a lot of free time to recode Frank;s plug-in. I had to do it in another way.
First I tried my self to put some Leaflet Java-scripts together. But JavaScript took me a hell of a learning curve. Luckily I found www.j-berkemeier.de/GPXViewer/ Why do it yourself... It has a lot of features I will not use on our website.
Now I had only to make a PHP wrapper around these scripts and than make a Joomla 4 plug-in. Also a learning curve..
I do not have a lot of free time!!! Do not expect fast updates or that I can help with feature requests!!! Free time is expensive.

But here is my idea how it should work: www.mirger.nl/gpxtm-plugin

Frank: Thanks for all your work!

Happy 2023

Gerrit
