Very very cool! I see that you can import GPX files: can you also do the opposite, i.e., export a GPX file for a selected time range?

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 …

I understand. Currently, I’m using the NextCloud’s extension Phonetrack, and one on my main use cases is to export GPX files to use them in Darktable and add geotracking information to the pictures I shoot with my camera. It works well, actually, but Phonetrack is not too intuitive and does not offer many other features: that’s why I was looking with interest at this alternative!
