I personally use it to always have an answer to a question "where I've been on x date" or "when I've been at y place", plus business trips reimbursements, plus tax declaration purposes (how many days I went to work from the office), and also I just like stats and nice pictures I can share in social media :)

So it's both practical and fun!

Yup, we have integrations for both Immich and Photoprism, and you can totally show your photos on the map once integrated

We had absolute meme moment on our discord server few weeks ago :D

I had it more than once, even native Germans usually can't parse right away :D Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7o2WJPXMVw

Love the Eurotrip movie!

Well, Google killed their Timeline and I just dove into selfhosting at the moment, so I used OwnTracks for 6 months and decided it's not enough :) That's how Dawarich was born

F-Droid is possible but we're currently using google services for location tracking, so it's not possible to publish there due to that. And we also have a LOT of work ahead of us, so it's not a priority

Hope it will work well for you!

The points are being recorded even while your phone is offline, and will be uploaded to Dawarich with no issues once you're back online :) I personally stored 435k points in our iOS app and then successfully uploaded them to my server

Yup, we have some gps noise filtering enabled by default, and I'm working on improving it over time

I tried so hard to fix the formatting... :D

Yes, it tries to infer transportation mode based on speed and accelleration (https://github.com/Freika/dawarich/blob/dev/app/services/transportation_modes/mode_classifier.rb#L16-L43). I can't claim it's perfect, but user can adjust values for these in the map settings, and based on how it behaves in real world, I may introduce further adjustments to the default settings

Great! It's maptoposter: https://github.com/originalankur/maptoposter/

Not yet: family will come to mobile apps in one of the future releases.

I have a feeling I answered this specific question multiple times in the recent days, was it you who asked it? :)

The Family feature is free for self-hosters and will be added as a separate subscription plan to the cloud this summer

To a degree, yes! Check this out:

This is Fog of War mode, removing the Fog of War (as you guessed) from places you visited or drove through.

The percentage of how much of a city or a country was discovered is something I want to implement at some point in the future

We currently have no plans to open-source our own mobile apps, but Dawarich supports half-dozen 3rd party open source apps that can reliably track and upload your data

I just don't stop tracking 24/7 on my iPhone. Some users configure Automations to start tracking when they leave their home and stop when they are back. My battery drain was 5% in the last 24 hours, and if it's too much, Dawarich supports half dozen 3rd party mobile apps to track geodata (including Traccar), you can try them all :)

Nothing stops you from recording 24/7 or only during a period when you toggled tracking on :) I'm also using Dawarich for tax purposes

Thanks! Should've linked it in the post :)

You can check github and see it all started in the pre-AI era. AI is a tool, not a human replacement, being a sentient human such as yourself I guess you understand that :)

It's wild to me that Google has this checkbox enabled by default for hundreds of millions of its users for at least a decade. Selfhosters can take control back now, feels good

I answered to this exact question here: https://lemmy.world/post/48616173/24431648 :)

Thank you!

Not as part of Dawarich itself, but I think combination of our free tools will do it for you:

1. Convert your KMLs to GPXes: https://dawarich.app/tools/gpx-to-kml/
2. Merge your GPXes to a single file: https://dawarich.app/tools/gpx-merger/
3. Import your chonky GPX into Dawarich itself :)

No data sampling is being done as of now, but it might be introduced some time later :)
