Need: export of GPS Data for dummies

Map Editors Community General Topics

Hi,

I use Waze to document my routes and need the export functionality either from waze itself or via the webinterface (here).
maybe as direct export to google maps. (yes I know about the admin way)

Can we push that request?

You can push all you want, but this is hardly core functionality for a commuting navigation app. I bet there is a vote for it over on the uservoice, but I don’t have the link to it any more and I’m not sure Waze even looks there any longer.

When I’m out and about delivering I run MyTracks at the same time as Waze. That gives me a more accurate route summary (I was mapping a new estate and I had done a double figure of eight on new roads which MyTracks showed but Waze only showed a circle of driving - made it hard to add the roads in

Wish some script wizard would write a script that would access the drives database and export all drives between any two dates to a .csv formatted file, sorted by date.

I have manually gone through a whole year using ‘select’, copy, paste to text file in edit++, wrote a macro to go through and combine the two data lines per drive into a single line.
Then copied all the stuff from the text file, pasted it to an excel spread sheet, cleaned it up and converted the km to miles, sorted by date.

From the looks of the code, it should be possible to write a script that would grab the drives data and export it.

I am just interested in date/time/milage for each drive. Some users may want the actual gps points. Either should be possible.

Many many months ago, I asked support and they said ‘it is in the works’. Somehow I suspect that they have better things to do.

Any volunteers?

Someone has written a script (in Perl or Python?) and posted the source to this forum before. To make it easier for others, we need someone to put a web front-end on it.

Nope it isn’t. I suggest you run another app in parallel with Waze. When I was using Nokia phones (Symbian/S60) I used Sports-Tracker.com . That allows gpx exporting.

Just set parameter GPS.CSV Tracker:yes in preferences file.

Waze will log all drives to CSV file in gps folder (located in wazs folder).

For example: GPS_track_100313__11_27.csv

in waze ?
in the phone ?
in a file of waze ?
for android, ios or symbian / asha ?? or black berry ??
or in a pc once connected to waze web site ???

Should be a GUI for that. By the way what program/map can display that format and how?

thanks

Where is the preferences file located?
How does one access it to modify it?

This may seem obvious and trivial to you, but it is neither obvious nor trivial to some of us.

And preference file is … where???

I know this is a dated thread but here goes… my issue with this is to capture travel data as a means to split out business travel and personal travel using my personal vehicle.

My Garmin Nuvi does it fantastically until I forget to give it a destination and the battery has been needing replacement (I have the kit but haven’t made the time until now because of the goofy WAZE does historical travel information).

Because it is now part of Google and has personal information associated to it (Bravo for Europe on the GPRS, Americans have to wake up yet), there seems to be a better way to dump the data. I did find a hook-n-crook way to dump the data for me via Google.

Now here’s the crux of my quesion – the Location Details is in a goofy ‘blob’ format that needs conversion. The data format seems to be (Date, Time, Location). So it seems to be a good way to validate from where to where you’ve been when WAZE is operating. UNFORTUNATELY, major conversion is needed because the “blob” is formated:

[{some value but seems to be permanently “0”:“date time location ==>… ad infinitum”} where the record length is less than 1024 characters ending with location"}]

Example:; [“0”:2021-11-20 00:00:00 GMT(Northing, Easting) ==> … (Northing, Easting)}]

Anyone got ideas how to parse out these records? I have hundreds of them for a given year… and to say WAZE has better things to do is BS. GARMIN does it better, always has and continues wrt reporting travel data.
