The relation between different types of evolved massive stars is not clear, and the role of factors such as binarity, rotation or magnetism needs to be quantified. Several groups make available the results of 1D single stellar evolution calculations in the form of evolutionary tracks and isochrones. They use different stellar evolution codes for which the input physics and its implementation varies. In this paper, we aim at comparing the currently available evolutionary tracks for massive stars. We focus on calculations aiming at reproducing the evolution of Galactic stars. Our main goal is to highlight the uncertainties on the predicted evolutionary paths. We compute stellar evolution models with the codes MESA and STAREVOL. We compare our results with those of four published grids of massive stellar evolution models (Geneva, STERN, Padova and FRANEC codes). We first investigate the effects of overshooting, mass loss, metallicity, chemical composition. We subsequently focus on rotation. Finally, we compare the predictions of published evolutionary models with the observed properties of a large sample of Galactic stars.2013A&A...560A..16Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/560/A16CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/560/A16https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/560/A16http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/560/A16https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/560/A16https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/560/A16http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/560/A16GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapdefaultJ/A+A/560/A16/mesaEvolutionary tracks for M=7--60M{sun} computed with the MESA coderecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
