This is a fork of [Trackbook](https://codeberg.org/y20k/trackbook) by y20k. Thank you y20k for this great project.
|

The goal of this fork is to make 24/7 recording easier. I want to be able to run trkpt nearly all of the time. The main differences between trkpt and Trackbook are:
|
|
|
|
1. trkpt stores points in an SQLite database instead of json files.
|
|
|
|
• Instead of storing the database in the app's private area (`/Android/data/...`), you can put the database in a folder that you sync to your PC with [Syncthing](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.nutomic.syncthingandroid/).
|
|
|
|
2. trkpt does not store "tracks" as objects. Instead, tracks are rendered and exported on the fly by querying the database of trackpoints.
|
|
|
|
3. trkpt adds the feature of "homepoints". When you are near a homepoint, trackpoints are not recorded. You can put a homepoint at your house or other places where you spend lots of time, so that you don't get large clouds of useless trackpoints at those locations.
|
|
|
|
• Although Trackbook has a feature to omit points that are close together, natural GPS inaccuracy and drift is large enough to create points that are far apart, leading to clouds over time.
|
|
|
|
4. trkpt removes the feature of "starring" waypoints. I recommend using [OsmAnd](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.osmand.plus/) to store your favorite places.
