It would be cool if you could manually add landmarks to the maps. For example, the names of peaks, towns, bodies of water, etc. It would be amazing if this could be pulled in automatically, but I don't know if there's a good public source of landmark data.

It would also be cool if you could automatically link your media to the GPS track, like photos and journal entries. They could be assigned to the correct spot in the track via their timestamp or geolocation data.

I agree it was a little distracting. Maybe a small, highlighted circle on the spot in the track that your mouse falls over? edit: I like how you highlight the current spot in replay mode.
Try out Storyteller, they're working on this exact problem: https://smoores.gitlab.io/storyteller/
This product looks really cool! But I would have to know more about the pricing model before I could recommend it at work. Also, does it work across SSH sessions? ie can I shell into a different machine as part of the runbook?
