There's also a community of people with dedicated "tracking phones" or GPS beacons to record every place they go and store it in apps like https://fogofworld.app

The nice part is that it's not some data silo but that it supports open formats and you can import / export everything very easily.



I don't think I ever understood Douglas Adams's quote about digital watches and going down from the trees more than I have today.


Looking through that webpage, what I'm not finding are the format of the data, or any tools for exporting it. Is it possible to make use of the data without the FoW app, on a computer?


This is neat. I need to find the smallest Android device I can now to keep in my backpack or pocket, that isn't my main phone.
