By import I mean "automatic sync", yes.
I just use it to "track" myself. You can use it for geofencing, yes. You just attach it to your user and it adds your location to you.
The main reason I use it over the Home Assistant app's built-in sensors is that PhoneTrack is able to store your location data if you're offline (out of cell network range, etc.) whereas the HA app just discards it.
I'm using PhoneTrack with NextCloud for 24x7 tracking just like Google History.
You just start an activity and just leave it going. It syncs to NextCloud "live".
Battery drain is minimal (much like, say, WireGuard VPN).
