The thing that I struggle with is, once I have this data... what do I do with it? I'd like to pull it to a laptop for analysis and so forth, but I've never found a decent open source package for that kind of thing (the closest I found is pytrainer and it is, to put it mildly, a little rough around the edges).
Any recommendations that I'm not aware of?
Nextcloud maps is my go-to. Or Fittrackee.
My goal is to try and cover the map with various tracks I hike.
I just pull my open tracks data into a spreadsheet and sum, average it in there. But my analysis needs are very basic.
There is https://www.goldencheetah.org/
It's mostly for cycling, not too user friendly, not well documented, but very powerful once you figure out how to use it.
Interesting. I like renovating forgotten projects. What can you say are the issues with it?
There are some such as D3.js, and some Python libraries such as Plotly, Bokeh, Matplotlib, etc but I've not used them. Another source may be free analytics apps. But it may also be worth seeing if you can't import your data to something like Samsung Health as the upload does also strip out most normal metadata that an actual app is reading the whole time. Otherwise this app may be an alternative too with some built-in analytics at https://f-droid.org/en/packages/de.tadris.fitness/.
