Fellow traveller here - going to try it in my solo bike tour from Lisbon to Istanbul that starts in a few days, let me know if there is any aspect of the software that you want reviewed

I'm most interested in presentation on the travel blog I'm working on (getting the most recent location onto a Google Map) and generating a track of where I've been - I thought it'd be fun to be able to plot the major waypoints on a globe.

I'm not really interested in every single movement - eg going out to get ice cream - but more moves between cities, towns etc... I guess if it's sending all the events to a server I can work that out for myself somehow...

What are you planning to use the data for?

You can use owntracks-recorder to keep the data and ocat to get them out again. I'm just playing with that right now to generate a page for my blog showing the cities I've traveled to each year in real-time.
