Massive distances showing in timeline

General
1

Hi all.

I set up Dawarich again yesterday after not using it for several months.

I really like the look of this new Timeline feature but these distances make no sense.

I traveled to work and then back home - it’s around 9 miles each direction. Trying to figure out why it’s doing this.

I’m using GPSLogger to track my location and feed it into Home Assistant, which then feeds Dawarich.

I know, somewhat complicated but I figured “just use GPSLogger for ALL location tracking so I can turn off the location sensors in the Home Assistant app”. I promise, there’s a reason for my madness.

I’m not sure if me having an always-on VPN is the cause… maybe it’s getting some location points through the VPN tunnel - the endpoint is about 66 miles from where I was all day today.

you can verify by comparing your stats page’s distances with the timeline’s ones. If they are the same, there is a chance it’s a data issue, but if stats are showing less distance, it’s for sure a timeline bug

This wound up being how I had GPSLogger configured.

I had configured it to auto-send every 30 minutes but apparently that doesn’t just send the differential, it sends the full CSV for the entire day each time, which was generating a ton of duplicates with a different recording timestamp.

I wound up just deleting all of my points for both of the problematic days so it wouldn’t skew my data so massively.
