If anybody is interested in tracking their own location with a sure way of it not ending up on a remote server somewhere: you can buy a number of GPS/GNSS data loggers, e.g. "Columbus GPS" with their V990-Mk2 or P-10 Pro are good. They store it on a MicroSD card as GPX tracks. Battery life is decent at >24h.
There's some info in the OpenStreetMap community and the "quantified self" communities.
- skrobul 5y agoDo you really want to carry around yet another gadget with you all the time? How about remembering to charge yet another gadget ~daily?
- jenny91 5y agoThat's the downside and I'm by no means suggesting someone should do this unless they really want to! The comment was more for those who really do want to. But yes: I do that. I personally think it's very interesting to see where I've been and to visualize the traces, especially when I'm traveling around the world. When I originally started a few years ago, battery drain from running a GPS logger 24/7 on a phone was significant. This was a good alternative. I'm now used to it and appreciate that I'm fully in control of that data.
