Hello, I’m looking for a good tool to selfhost some kind of location history similar to Google’s one. To have some data I can test the tools with, I merged every of my bicylce and hiking tours to one GPX file containing 7000km worth of travel. Then I tried this tool, but it really lags with so much data and every move and every zoom takes some seconds to load. Next I tried the “Phonetrack” app on my nextcloud instance, but this as well lags and I have to activate every track manually and they are color coded. I really like the connection between the phonetrack app on my Android and the nextcloud app, but I am afraid that I’ll eventually run into the same performance problem when I gathered enough data. I’ve seen that theres OwnTracks, but it seems you have to set up your own server and I don’t want to pay extra next to my nextcloud subscription. Do you know of any kind of location history tool I can use that can handle big amounts of data?

    The tracking part is great, but I think I’ll eventually run into perfomance problems when the files get too big. How long has it been running now/how big is you gpx file? And do you just use one single session or eventually start a new one?
