Recently started using Reitti, and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I did notice two things that would be nice to have though:

  • Better awareness of transportation modes and/or the option to reclassify identical trips in bulk. I mostly take the train, but I also use a car from time, and the current way of classifying (only based on speed, I think?) wrongly classifies a lot of train trips as being by car. It’d be nice to perhaps implement logic that trips from one train/bus/ferry station to another are probably done by the respective mode of transportation, or otherwise a way to reclassify all trips between the same places via the same route at once would be great

  • A way to forward tracking information to other apps. I run Phonetrack (Nextcloud app), Dawarich and Reitti alongside each other, but this requires shenanigans with forwarding requests or multiple tracking apps. It’d be cool if you implemented forwarding to other services, if possible with caching options.

Either way, Reitti is great and I’m impressed by the progress over the last year!

After thinking about this part a bit: I could add something like a rule system to reitti. I will do it either way since I am searching for a way to add notifications to reitti. One rule then could be, if there is a trip between place A and B, during the workweek between 07:00 and 09:00, re-classify this as train ride. But this would override then the walk to the trainstation. So the rule would need to be:

  • Trip between Place A and Place B
  • during workweek
  • between 07:00 and 09:00
  • trip is classified as driving

-> switch it to transit

Another idea: adding hints for the classification in the transportation mode setting. Like: during the workweek, between 07:00 and 09:00 it is more likely I take the train instead of the car. The classification could then pull that information in and decide based on the hints which one to choose
