Export driving data

I would really like to be able to download my driving data so I can map and analyze it. Is this not possible? All I need is a simple CSV w/ timestamps.

Not possible at this time.

upon further consideration i was able to pull the last ~month of drives and convert them to KML with 30 lines of python. unfortunately everything after a month is forbidden :(. does this data still exist or is it purged from the servers?

It is not visible on the front-end that I can see.

Your technical skillz exceed most end-users. I commend you. There are likely some other folks who may be interested as well.

If you run the client in debug mode, the raw GPS data of the most recent trips is stored on your phone.

here’s the script i made to export the data. it requires basic knowledge of python, and being on linux (only so you can use ogr2ogr to convert GML to KML, it can be commented out otherwise but you’ll only have GML files). works pretty good! right now it deletes the original GML files after conversion but that can be easily changed, also ogr2ogr supports a lot of other output formats. waze only lets you access the last month of drives as far as point-to-point gps data goes, so if you want to keep up you have to keep running the script. as long as you keep the GML/KML files in the directory it will skip files it has already downloaded. enjoy!

i just made a secondary script to map my speeds on my commute. it’s customized to me but it’s in the git repo if you guys want to check it out. It will take all the KML’s from the export script, put them all in one KML, seperating out commutes from other drives based on date, and colors the lines based on speed. get some pretty cool results! the lines are gradient colored from red to green to blue based on speed.

If I only had something to run this on… You could build up a web-based service and charge people a nominal fee. :slight_smile:

To Mr. m4chfive:

Many thanks, I hope I can figure out

I visited your code at Github. I really would like to access some of my recent drive data. In particular the Sat. Dec. 22, 8:10 am drive I made.

I’m going to ask a friend and coworker - much more knowledgeable about computers and networks than I - to help me to use your nifty tool. I don’t know if she’ll be able to help me though. And my programming experience is way back, FORTRAN and BASIC :expressionless: . I don’t understand the first thing of how to use your code. Where do I even start? I use a 2008 MacBook Pro, or an iMac, at home, and a recent PC at work. :?

If I can’t figure this out, I’ll be writing you again! Thanks for posting.

Any plans to implement the Drive Export feature in an upcoming release? Would like to map and share my off road motorcycle drives. Really don’t to buy a Garmin just for this capability. Thanks for considering this enhancement.

I’d love to even have the basic information that’s available in the front-end in CSV format: Date, Start Time, Miles, Duration, Start Point, End Point. A solution more elegant than screen scraping would be wonderful :slight_smile:

Same thing ! We need this feature !

Yes, this feature would be a HUGE benefit, especially to business users who need to record their mileage… this is available with Google maps and makes it possible to record mileage for tax purposes at the end of year. Unfortunately access to only one month of data isn’t enough ;-( Thank you!!

I would be content just to be able to export dates, times, duration of the drive, and endpoint data, so I can use it to review my billable mileage log; I don’t need KML data, as there are other apps to log that.

(It would be great if I could “tag” a Waze directions request as something I want logged, and maybe specify that it’s business. It could send me a message with the start time, when I arrived, and the mileage…)

Sorry but Waze hasn’t any export function.

Hi,

today by chance I came across https://greasyfork.org/de/scripts/14832-wme-export-trajet. I haven’t tried it, but you can test and give feedback here if it does what you need.
