Dawarich: 10 years of recorded tracks and now they have a purpose

I think a couple of months ago I found out about Dawarich here on this community as the author posted here. I installed a couple of days ago on a VM I run and have been impressed so far. I started logging track 10 years ago when I found out about OsmAND and never really knew what I would do with those tracks until I discovered Dawarich. Interesting piece of software. With the “trips” function, it reminded me of my trip to Scotland and all the places I had seen on which day.

Now the challenge is to understand why Owntracks feeds it a couple of points a day and only when I’m at home. I thought Owntracks would log locally on mobile phone and then download everything on Dawarich when it was back online on the VLAN at home (i don’t have external access setup and don’t want to for now). Is this some server side problem or a app problem? I’ve not changed the default settings of either the Dawarich server or the app. Any clues? I was goign to try the Dawarich android app but its not on f-droid so will need to wait until it is (strictly on GOS and no Google where I live ;-)

Reitti’s author also posted here some days ago.

Reitti does not have a dedicated app and is fed with GPSlogger, which is capable of feeding dawarich as well (or both at the same time), actually more reliably than the dawarich app in my experience (dawarich just stopped working after a couple of days and needed a full logout/login).

Edit: Colota mentioned ITT does the same.

discuss.tchncs.de[AIP] Reitti v5.3.0: Multi-Segment Trips, Spatial Coverage & FIT File Support - tchncsHey everyone! A lot has happened since the v5.0 announcement. Step by step, Reitti grows into something richer: it now understands journeys with multiple transportation modes, tells you how much of your world you have actually explored, geotags the photos your camera didn´t, and reads the FIT recordings from your sports watch. Yesterday’s v5.3.0 brought all of these threads together, and I want to take a moment to share this progress with the community. For anyone new here: Reitti (Finnish for “route”) is a self-hosted, privacy-first alternative to Google Timeline. It turns raw GPS points from your devices into visits, trips and a timeline of your life, stored exclusively on your own infrastructure. Here are the features I’m most excited about: — ## Multi-Segment Transportation Modes Real journeys are rarely single-mode: you walk to the car, drive, then walk again. Reitti now understands this and models it as one trip with multiple transport segments instead of mislabeling everything a
