    Android GPS logger:

    You may also want to check your environment, as there can be inaccuracy due to clouds, buildings, sunspots, alien invasion, etc.

    For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

    Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

      Agreed. I don’t know why people post so many random projects’ minor update releases with no context.

        Yeah it’s very frustrating. Unless there’s a bunch of exciting features, just let it be. Especially these niche little repos.

        If you want to promote a repo, better to make a post with details on what it is, does, and what you like about it. Not just posting a small update with only the title of the project followed by “released”.

    This looks cool, I was thinking about this as part of de-googleing.

    Does it have location sharing like google’s services? A little reading and I find the answer is OwnTracks or Overland

    I’m new to this app and confused. If I install/configure OwnTracks, what else do I get from Dawarich?

      Dawarich cleans a gpx route (if I understood it right), translates gps points to real world locations, calculated distances, and shows a map.

      I track my position with gpslogger, yet I’ve got no direct map and the trash gps points at home is large
