QMapShack is a desktop application for planning, editing and analysing GPS tracks, routes and waypoints. It combines GPS data with raster, vector and online maps, making it particularly useful for hiking, cycling, touring and other outdoor activities where routes need to be prepared and examined in detail.
Projects can contain maps, tracks, routes, waypoints and areas, with persistent database storage available for larger collections. QMapShack is the successor to QLandkarteGT and uses a multi-canvas interface that allows several views and map combinations to be displayed at once.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports Garmin IMG and JNX maps, GDAL-compatible raster maps and online TMS and WMTS map services.

- Uses digital elevation models independently of the base map, with hillshading and slope colouring.
- Track editor provides undo and redo together with cut, copy, combine and reverse operations.
- Filters can smooth, resample and modify speed, elevation and timestamp information.
- Provides track profiles and analysis for elevation, speed, slope, heart rate and other recorded data.
- Supports offline routing with Routino and both local and network-based BRouter workflows.
- Can snap tracks or planned routes to suitable map or routing data.
- Project database stores tracks, routes, waypoints, areas and structured folders for repeated use.
- Reads from and writes to supported modern Garmin and TwoNav GPS devices.
- Can synchronise project-oriented data with attached GPS hardware.
