how to "generate" a file to use for a map that shows the driven way

mame2 years ago

Hi
I am using my own traccar server and the traccar client on my Android phone.
I was able to export the report as an .xlsx file and import it in google maps. It shows up the waypoints.

What I am looking for ist to have the waypoints connected that shows me the driven way. Hope I explained it to understand what is my goal?

THX for your support

What kind of file are you looking for specifically?

mame2 years ago

any kind of file that will lead me to my goal. Or maybe I just don't know how to get to my goal?
I am just started with my traccar server and clients ;-)

Traccar can already show you the map, so I'm not sure what the goal is.

here you go....maybe I just have no clou how to set it up.
Trying to explain my goal further:
E:G: I am moving from a location to x locations and back. Therefore traccar will og different geo location positions.
google MAP with exported file will show me "only" the x waypoints. I am looking for a map that shows me the driven way. Like I am taking the street X1 from home to location A. I would like to see this on the MAP as a driven way like a blue line on the street X1 from home to location A. Like a navigation system that shows to way to follow or so.
Can I achieve this with traccar server settings?

google MAP with exported file will show me "only" the x waypoints

Can you explain what you're talking about here. We don't have any Google Map exports.

if I export in traccar under reports an excel.xlsx I can upload it to a google map.

How do you upload Excel into Google Maps?

mame2 years ago
  1. edit excel file = remove first 7 colums so I only have entries from blue line downwards
  2. brows to GOOGLE MY MAPS
  3. new MAPS
  4. import file
  5. select latitude/longitude
  6. select any eg. altitude
    et voila I do have several waypoints shown up on my map

I see. You should probably figure out what format Google expects to display a route. It's not really something specific to Traccar.

ok I see. Finally to say: Traccar its own can't display a route on the MAP tab.
Thanks a lot for your effort and time. much appreciated!

Traccar its own can't display a route on the MAP tab.

First of all, it can, but only as a trail. But there are other places where we do display a route.

mame2 years ago

would you please let me know how to set up a trail or display route?

There's a replay option. And in the new version you will also be able to see it in the route and trips reports.

mame2 years ago

sounds great for the new version

where can I find the replay option?

sorry....kind of blind. Got it :-)
