Not sure if this already exists in some form, but I want something that always records where I've been. I am a very forgetful person and the Google maps timeline feature has been very helpful more than a handful of times. Unfortunately, it means that Google knows exactly where I've been also...
I just want to be able to check where I was the afternoon of a random Tuesday three years ago!
Assuming you can self host, check out OwnTracks (Android). It does that, and you control all the data.
Someone mentioned GPSLogger & Location Map Viewer here: https://lemmy.ca/comment/5402752
I haven't tried them yet, but that could work. I'd also love an easy-to-use version of this, it's just so useful.
When did I last go to the doctor? What was that restaurant we ate at that night?
so helpful
I use GPS Logger as well. Everything is saved locally in a kml file. The trick is to find an optimal settings which gives you enough data points but doesn't kill your batteey in the process.
This is something I'm very interested in too.
