So I'm currently using Dawarich but I'm intrigued by this alternative. However, I found no way to export my data from Reitti, so I feel like it'd hold my data hostage until the feature would be added.

Alternatively, maybe there's a way to report location to both at once? I'd rather not run two different apps to report my location to both at the same time, however. I guess it would be possible to make a small app that I run on my server that submits the location to both at the same time, but that would be some work.

Hello @chellomere@lemmy.world , totally understandable point. I stated on another thread that I probably won't add an export function since we discard some points of the raw data before Reitti processes it. So even if I add an export function, it will be less than the original data.

Some solutions to your problem could be:

  • post your points into dawarich and update Reitti by hand using the GPX import. That is actually the way I did it in the beginning of development. GPX logger also saves the GPX files on your phone if you use that.
  • another user pointed me to the owntracks recorder. Your data would be stored there and Reitti can be attached to the recorder. If there is a integration in dawarich, this could solve your problem for updating two apps.

I also considered writing a proxy like you mentioned which could delegate to two endpoints but then decided at one point it would not be worth the hassle. I stopped using dawarich but I am also biased 😅

I might initially go with the option to manually import into Reitti, just to see what it can do.

Regarding the second option, how do you attach Reitti to owntracks recorder?

[–] danielgraf@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 days ago

There is an integration for that. You provide the URL, the user and deviceId and Reitti will fetch all new data. There is also a button to import all historical data from the recorder
