Logging capbility for Owntracks

Open radh21301 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

As far as I can see, only the latest GPS location is sent to owntracks and not all the points that were logged in that interval. This sort of handicaps my use case since I am mostly in areas without internet. This would be such a nice feature to have.

My understanding is that Owntracks only accepts a single location point in a POST request. If that's the case, sending up a bunch of old data would be a bunch of HTTP requests which sounds like not a lot of fun to manage. https://owntracks.org/booklet/tech/http/

That's basically what the Owntrack iOS app does.
It's a side-effect of their architecture with MQTT as main protocol and HTTP for the lazy people people who don't want to run a MQTT server
