  • Hello, reitti has a different usecase than wanderer. Reitti is designed to follow your whole day around. The idea is to look back a year from now to bring back some memories. With the new map you could also dig into your behaviours like where I am normally at 08:00, or which places I go to lunch at 12. For that, it needs the gps location all day. There are multiple ways to ingest data into reitti. It is documented here: https://www.dedicatedcode.com/projects/reitti/latest/integrations/mobile-apps/

    You can also upload GPX Data or other formats. Reitti works best when having a continuous stream of gps data. Think about it as a Google Timeline but private.

    Wanderer on the the other hand, seems to be designed as a planning and tracking app for single trips. Correct me if I am wrong.

  • Glad to hear that the update went smoothly. And thank you for the feedback.

  • Hi, there is a option to upload a custom css for your user in the settings. There you would also find a toggle to display a colored map instead of the gray one.

    Updating the map style will come in one of the next releases. For that you would need to upload a custom style.json. They are exhausting tk edit, but allow full control over every aspect of the map. Take a look here for more information. https://maputnik.github.io/

  • Here are more Screenshots and the link to the new updated documentation for the 4.0 release.

  • Let me know how the upgrade is received. I would love to hear more feedback about it.

  • Hello, that is something I can't help with. I do not run dawarich anymore since a year or so. Maybe someone can jump in who recently switched and has a fresh look.

    Else i can encourage you to spin it up and import a gpx file if possible. You should be able to export the data from dawarich for a day or two and have a look around.

  • God damit, yes it is weekly. I have a 6y old daughter, time has no meaning to me anymore :D

  • I just wanted to make a joke that it is enough to put reitti one time into the update section. Then I saw that you also wrote a highlight piece about it ☺️

    Thank you very much for that. And also thank you in general for the effort you put in the newsletter. I eagerly waiting every month for it.

  • I saw that someone is working on it. You are awesome. Thank you 🙏

  • Thank you very much for your comment. It means alot to me to hear that reitti is grown to an app others enjoy using :)

  • Thank you so much for your kind word! This means alot for me.

  • Ah, thank you for clarifying this. It sounds like AdventurerLog would be a better fit at the moment.

    I envision the memories feature could also serve this purpose, generating a travel log from GPS data and pulling in all relevant images from Immich within that timeframe. Currently, it only allows for selecting a start and end date (as it was designed for longer vacations), but there's no technical limitation preventing time-based selection.

    The existing text templates, also geared towards vacations, would likely require some adjustments. One idea I'm exploring is integrating a small LLM to generate more natural and varied text.

    If we develop this idea further, I believe reitti could certainly be adapted to your use case.

  • Thank you. Give it a try and I would love to hear your thoughts

  • Not on a daily basis or in live. The main focus is in visit detection as best as we can, trips, tracks or trails are all the points between them.

    Reitti is mainly developed to bring me easier to my memories. For that Places and Photos helped the most. To list individual tracks there is probably something better suited. But I would be happy to hear your usecase, maybe we can incorporate that into reitti.

  • Cool, thank you.

    Is this url resolvable from the reitti container? That one, needs to access immich.

  • Yes they all can work together. The data in home assistant should be enough.

    Regardind docker or not. There is more instructions in the documentation how to build it from source. You can also run it from the jar. I need to check if this documented right now.

    Yes, I try to make as most sense out of the data as possible. It is kind of a velocity matching. There is a settings menu where you can specify the speeds. Actual detecting them is a little bit more complicated since traffic lights etc need to be accounted for. If reitti detects something wrong, you can edit it directly on the timeline and set another transportation mode.

  • There is a Home Assistant integration by the community. Take a look at the readme, there is a link to the documentation for that.

    Home Assistant Integration

  • This questions comes up every time. I copied the answer i gave the last time athttps://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/SUjvuDXd3k

    Yes, this comes up most of the time when I post about it. Which is totally understandable since looking at it from the outside, they do the same in the sense of being an alternative to Google Timeline.

    I have a vision where Reitti should be heading and this is not the timeline part. It will always be there to look at it, see your movement patterns, your visits and so on. Also the live view part, where you can share your location with others, with other users, instances or via magic link is one essential part which will always be there. Lot of users connect via this to their friends and families which is awesome when Reitti can help with this.

    But, the Geo location is only the underlying data we need to create something which helps me (and maybe you) in remembering things. I "suffer" from Aphantasia and I struggle to get to my memories without any external trigger and that is the reason I created Reitti. To have a thing, i can occasionally look at, bring in pictures and emotions back into my knowledge. Where memories is the first step towards that goal.

    So, for me this is the main difference between these two. But do not take my words for granted, test them out and take the one you like more. Since I started Reitti 6 months ago (actually a little bit longer) I did not follow on other projects that much and maybe they all converge to the same conclusion.

    I am a little bit hesitant in adding a comparison in the Readme since I do not want to compare Reitti with other solutions. What I want more than a comparison is to make the idea behind Reitti clearer so anyone can build its own opinion which one is better suited.

    I hope I got my point of view transported. English is not my main language and I did not bothered to let some LLM look over it.

    If something needs more explanation, feel free to ask me anything.

  • Time to level that up and add patois (never heard of it) to reitti 😀 But it is alot of work in keeping the translations aligned to new features and I am overly thankful for anyone who does this.

    As I was younger, I could get away with Bulgarian but as you said. If you do not use it, you loose it.
