Dawarich
TravelKeep your own location history and see where you have been on a map.
Dawarich gives you your own version of Google Timeline, a record of where you have been, kept on a server you control. It collects location points from your phone, imports years of existing history and turns them into maps, trips and statistics. Family members can also share their location with each other, and each person decides whether to take part.
- Imports history from Google Takeout, OwnTracks, GPX, Strava and photos.
- Shows your history on a map as points, lines, a heatmap or fog of war.
- Counts countries, cities, distance travelled and days spent in each country.
What people use it for
Move your Google Timeline history to your own server
Export your location history with Google Takeout or the Timeline export in the Google Maps app. In Dawarich, open Imports, create a new import and upload the files, choosing the source by hand for Records.json and Semantic Location History. Reverse geocoding runs after the import, and the points then appear on the map and in your statistics.
Record where you go each day
Install the Dawarich app for iOS or Android, or a supported tracker such as OwnTracks, Overland or GPSLogger, and point it at your Dawarich instance. Your points build up on the map, where you can switch between heatmap, points, lines and fog of war layers. Visits, still in beta, suggests places you have been for you to confirm or reject.
Keep a record of trips with photos
Create a trip between two points in time to see its route, distance and time spent, and add notes to it. Add credentials for Immich or Photoprism, and Dawarich imports geodata from your photos and shows the photos on the map and in the trip. Your data can be exported again as GeoJSON or GPX.
