Reitti on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Overview

Reitti is an open source personal location tracking and analysis application. It ingests the location history you already produce, live positions from the OwnTracks phone app, GPX track files, and a Google Takeout export of your Google Maps timeline, and turns the raw stream of points into something you can actually read: it detects the places you visit, the trips between them, and the significant places you return to, and lays them out on an interactive map and a day by day timeline. The name comes from the Finnish word for route or path.

Under the surface it stores points in a PostgreSQL database with the PostGIS spatial extension, uses a spatial cache to keep the map responsive, and proxies map tiles through a local cache so browsing your history does not hammer a public tile service. You can review and correct detected visits, search your own history, and connect data sources from a settings console in the browser. It suits anyone who wants the convenience of a location timeline without handing their movements to a third party, running entirely inside their own cloud account.

Common uses

• Keep a private timeline of everywhere you have been from OwnTracks, GPX and Google Takeout data
• See detected visits, trips and significant places on an interactive map you own
• Self host your location history inside your own cloud account instead of a third party service
