What is it for? Instead of Google Timeline: your location history on your own server A map, statistics and trips from every place you have been Google Takeout, GPX and GeoJSON import for your old data The Dawarich, Overland or OwnTracks app sends your phone location First steps Open timeline.tester4.test and sign in: demo@dawarich.app and the password shown on the settings page In your account settings, replace the e-mail address with your own - the demo@dawarich.app name is public Copy your API key from the settings Install the Dawarich app on your phone and enter: https://timeline.tester4.test and the API key Your browser loads the map tiles from the Dawarich map server; your location data stays on your server Load your old location history You can load your earlier location data, for example the timeline you downloaded from Google, from a file. In the top menu, open „My data” and choose „Imports”. Select „New import”. Choose the file, for example a Google JSON, GPX or ZIP file, and start the upload. Dawarich works out the format by itself. On the „Imports” page you can follow the processing; then the points show up on the map. Record a trip A trip ties a stretch of time together and shows on a map where you went. In the top menu, select „Trips”. Select „New trip”. Enter the name of the trip, its start and its end, and save it. On the trip's page, Dawarich draws the route from the points of that time. Statistics Dawarich adds up how much you have travelled. In the top menu, select „Stats”. Here you see the distance for each year („Total distance”) and the number of points recorded. The rest of the statistics is updated daily. To see a fresh import now, select „Update stats”. Add a family member Everyone gets their own account and sends their location from their own phone. Select your account menu at the top right and choose „Settings”. Open the „Users” tab and select „Add new user”. Fill in „Email” and „Password”, then select „Create”. The family member signs in and sets up the phone app with their own API key. They find the key on the „Account” page of the account menu. Frequently asked questions The file I downloaded from Google is too large. What do I do? Compress a file larger than 200 MB into a ZIP file before uploading. It is faster that way, and the upload does not break off. Who sees where I have been? Your location data stays on the box, and each account sees only its own points on the map. Your browser loads the map background from the Dawarich map server. Can I save my data to a file? Yes. On the „Points” page of the „My data” menu, the „Export” button makes a GeoJSON or GPX file. You find the finished file on the „Exports” page. Why is today's route not showing? The phone app sends the points. Check that the app has the right timeline.tester4.test address and API key, and that it may send in the background. Is my location data backed up? Your location data is on the box. You see the backup status on the dashboard, on the app's „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
