Thank you for testing Reitti. 🙏

It depends on two key requirements for Reitti:

1. First, it finds all photos from Immich taken on the day you selected.
2. Then, it filters these photos based on the selected map bounds, using the embedded EXIF geolocation data (where the photo was shot).

If the EXIF data does not contain geolocation information, we currently cannot display those photos because their placement on the map cannot be determined.

Could you please verify in Immich if the expected photo has its location in the metadata? If it is available there, then the issue might lie in how Reitti is parsing that specific data.

Congratulations 😆

To help with that I would need some information:

• does it show anything in the logs?
• what do you mean by several years or how big was the Records.json?

Thank you for testing 🙂

It is actually awesome if you have some old photos with the geodata attached and scim through Reitti and suddenly one of them shows up :)

I have no clue if a raspberry will handle it. There a a couple of services involved to make it fast, but they are then another burden like RabbitMQ. Which make ingesting data instantaneous but you need extra processing power to handle the queues. It all comes with a tradeoff.

For size, there is mainly the PostGIS DB. I just checked and my db is around 800 MB for roughtly 8 1/2 Years of data.

Photon (the reverse geocode enabled in the compose file) is another beast. For Germany it takes 14 GB of storage while running, if you let PARALLELL updates enabled you can double that every time the index is updated. But you can remove that from the compose file and rely on external Geocoders. It is described in https://github.com/dedicatedcode/reitti?tab=readme-ov-file#reverse-geocoding-options

It was not intentional but after bothering not about it because i had other things on my mind i got used to it and now like it the way it is.

But for everyone who is bothered by that. If Reitti reaches 1k stars on Github I will add a switch to use a centered one 😊

Thank you :)

I understand your concerns, this is something every additional app would have to deal with.

For me it is ok to have GPSLogger running all the time, I think for what it is doing it is quite easy on the battery but I do not use my phone actively that much and I am happy if it survives a day which it does.

I would not say compete. They are different in how things are done from my point of view. I want to focus more on the visits we have done in the past to relive some lost memories whereas Dwarich looks more "technical" for me. I have no better words for it, I hope you get my point in what i am trying to achieve with Reitti. So there should be enough room for both 🙂

I also do not have any intentions to offer a hosted version in the foreseeable future or even anytime.

I was thinking about that, but the main problem is that we do not store all the data which comes in.

If we ingest data from an app, I am pretty sure that the quality of the data is actually usable. But for example if we import an Records.json from Google Takeout. The quality of the earlier years is somewhat sketchy. For this we filter out some points like travelling with over 2000 km/h, sudden direction changes etc and they are lost forever. At least for Reitti they are unknown.

The feature would need a lot of explanation why the data we export is not the same we import.That is the reason I did not implemented it even if it would come in handy for testing stuff. Handling GPX files is a pita ...

Reitti on its own does not run on your phone. It relies on external apps to track your GPS location like GPSLogger or Owntracks. They will increase the battery consumption but I think it is bearable. I personally have setup GPSLogger to fetch every 30 seconds a GPS location and then sends it every hour to reitti. With that i do not see that more power usage. Currently starting to test how the power drain is with a 15 seconds interval.

That sounds like an awesome idea, actually the data is stored for every user separately depending on the used api token or when you login and do a data import. I will create a feature request for it.

But bear in mind, reitti is not meant to be a real-time tracking app. At the moment, data is processed every 10 minutes.

Thanks :) As a German I really like the name Dawarich. First it sound really nice for me but also that "Da war ich" means "There have i been" in german makes, at least for me, an awesome project name.

Take this with a grain of salt because I have no idea what the plans are for Dawarich or have ever been and this is solely based on my external view. For me the main differences are:

• visits and trips are our main data, everything else is just the way to calculate them. For Dawarich it looks to me, that it is the other way around. It displays all the location data in good way with the heatmap and so on but visits or places seems so tacked on. This should not be an offense against it. I actually still have an instance running and it was the main pushing point to finally start working on Reitti.
• the sleek UI but this depends on your taste

In the end, they are not that far off. Maybe a matter of taste.
