Right now im looking for an alternative to the Google Maps Timeline. I know there is OwnTracks but I dont think that everything has to be hosted on a server somewhere (especially when all its saving is a timestamp and a coordinate, its not like that takes up alot of space)
Basically just your own location tracker and then the option to see your own history displayed in a map e.g. where you have been on the 02.july.2019 at 11:50.
Google Maps Timeline is also hosted on a server somewhere.
OsmAnd has a track recording feature.
Yeah obviously Google hosts this as a Services because it want your location data. But if I'm the only one who sees that data, I think it'd fine if it stays on my phone.
And I am especially not looking for a tracker like you showed (usually because I dont care "exactly exactly" how I went to places but rather at which time I have been at which place)
Are you thinking of a mobile app or something else, like fully separate hardware you'd carry around? Sounds interesting
No I am just thinking of an App. The Apps which exist (as far as I have found them, if there are better apps I would be glad for recommendations) are either:
I would also be interested in this!
