I just discovered this app. I know there are folks out there who think location tracking is the opposite of privacy but it’s a nice security tool to keep track of your loved ones. I found this one thats fully end to end encrypted. I am currently in the works to migrate my family of 10 over. (This includes my grandparents who are less than tech savvy)
Just thought I would share in the event there was a father like me looking for a similar tool that doesn’t sell your location data or breach your data.
I’ve used Grid (https://mygrid.app/) a while ago, since it’s open source, cross-platform, selfhostable (although I did not experiment with that) and E2EE. However, I found it to be a bit buggy, and the location did not always update. Also, the power consumption was pretty high. But, I see that it’s been updated some, since I last used it, so it might have solved some of these issues🤞
I’ve tried owntracks and traccar and I’m not really a fan of either so I’d love to try this once it’s open sourced.
Traccar was they best solution I’ve going so far. Have you found others?
No, Traccar seemed like the better of the two, but I don’t like that you can’t use the site without webGL.
