Visit Suggestions - How do they work?

General
1

Hi guys,

I am using Dawarich for a few weeks now and am quite happy with it. The android app is tracking my movements and my local photon instance allows for reverse geodecoding. The only thing that I am not able to get working is visit suggestions. I believe that it is simply something I do not understand about them, but I wanted to make sure that I do the right things.

my assumptions:

  • I need to create “areas” that I want to be suggested as visits
  • when I arrive at this area (indicated by the finish flag) the system is considering this as a visit
  • when I execute the script at the bottom of this page Visits and Places | Dawarich the visit suggestion algorithm runs for all points in the defined date range

Regardless of all the above points I am not able to get visit suggestions even though I have cases where the “finish flag” is exactly within an area:

Anybody able to tell me what I am doing wrong? Are the visit suggestions working the way I am expecting them to do? Is there any setting I need to apply?

In the settings area the visit suggestions are enabled:

<<<< not ablel to put a second screenshot here because of limits, but the settings show “Visit Suggestions => Disable”, which means those are currently enabled >>>>

I am out of ideas, I hope it is simply something I am missing.

Thanks!

Not sure what I did, but know Dawarich is suggesting me visits. Is there a reliable way to “recalculate” visits for earlier dates? The command on the page mentioned above does not seem to work.

I think I know what I did: I actually changed the accuracy of the GPS signal in the Dawarich android app. Is it possible that Dawarich ignores waypoints that have a low level of accuracy even though the visit is “matched”?

This would basically explain why older waypoints are still not working.
