google location history to gpx.md

I need to geotag every photo from trip to .gpx track, but GPX Logger accidentaly stopped. Luckly, i has turned on Google location history.

1. Takeout location history from google.
2. Extract .json file
3. trigger the following commands

git clone https://github.com/Scarygami/location-history-json-converter.git

py location-history-json-converter-master/location_history_json_converter.py -f gpx -s 2017-05-06 -e 2017-05-07 "Takeout/Location History/Records.json" "Takeout/Location History/Records.gpx"

"c:\Program Files\GPSBabel\gpsbabel.exe"  -i gpx -f "Takeout/Location History/Records.gpx" -x transform,trk=wpt -o gpx -F track.gpx

4. the resulting tracks.gpx file can be analyzed with the following tools for speed data for example:

• ShowGPX
• MyGPSFiles
• Geo Javawa TrackAnalyse

More details about how I used this for single day:

1. install https://www.gpsbabel.org/
2. install Python and pip
3. get the Google Location History data using Google's Takeout service
4. use the Records.json from Google Location History in the commands below to create the tracks.gpx file
5. use the ShowGPX or MyGPSFiles online tools to analyze elevation / speed data

git clone https://github.com/Scarygami/location-history-json-converter.git

py location-history-json-converter/location_history_json_converter.py -f gpx -s 2022-04-08 -e 2022-04-08 "c:/temp/_gps/Takeout/Location History/Records.json" "c:/temp/_gps/Takeout/Location History/Records.gpx"

"C:\Program Files\GPSBabel\gpsbabel.exe"  -i gpx -f "Takeout/Location History/Records.gpx" -x transform,trk=wpt -o gpx -F track.gpx
