Looking for an Open Source Location Tracking App
Looking for an Open Source Location Tracking App
Hi, I am planning to build my own location history service similar to the google maps timeline.
For this, I need a simple app that sends my current location (and current speed/altitude if possible) to a given HTTPS endpoint every x seconds.
Is there an app that does that? I could also build my own app, but I'd prefer to spend my time on the server-side.
I found a similar feature in OsmAnd (see the image below), but I'd like to not send my coordinates via URL parameters for security reasons.
Traccar, uLogger, Locus, OwnTrack...
That said you say you don't want to send your location via the url but with https, the url is also encrypted.
Nextcloud can do something along those lines:
Thanks, I'll try that for now since I wanted to set up a nextcloud anyways
GPSLogger seems to fit your requirements. It allows you to send location data to a wide variety of different servers, including URLs.
Is this something you could do with tasker?
I've found gpslogger to phonetrack works well. The phonetrack app isn't bad but a bit heavy IMO.
Maybe Phonetrack? I use that in combination with nextcloud.
