View walking/jogging/cycling "tracks" in Map dashboard

Configuration Frontend

HA does a good job of capturing gps location of my Android phone at regular intervals.

I would love to be able to view the “tracks” of my activities such as walking/jogging/cycling to keep track of my various routes, especially when I am exploring a new place. Think of this as a poor man’s “MayMyRun”.

Is there any (easy) way to display the associated “tracks” in the Map dashboard widget for a specific time interval?

NOTE: for now, I have been using the following kluge to export the tracks & then import them into Google Earth for display.

  1. Export to csv file
(SENSOR=<tracker_metadata_id>; START=<start_timestamp>; END=<end_imestamp>; DB=/homeassistant/home-assistant_v2.db; sqlite3 $DB "SELECT DATETIME(last_updated_ts, 'unixepoch', 'localtime'), shared_attrs FROM states JOIN state_attributes ON(states.attributes_id = state_attributes.attributes_id) WHERE metadata_id = $SENSOR AND last_updated_ts >= $START AND last_updated_ts <= $END" | sed 's/\([^|]*\)|.*latitude":\([^,]*\).*longitude":\([^,]*\).*altitude":\([^,]*\).*/\2\t\3/') > route.csv

  1. Convert to kml using the following online converter: https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?output_googleearth

  2. Save the file and import into Google Earth https://earth.google.com/

Of course, I would prefer to do this automatically and native to HA as per the first part of my post…

Map card does this if you set hours-to-show, does that solve what you’re asking for?

Or I’m not understanding what you need that we don’t already support.

Or do you mean you want map panel to have a time picker like history panel?

I don’t see any option on the default Map dashboard to show hours (or anything else for that matter). Just the ability to edit the dashboard or to click on a displayed entity and edit its properties.

I have the default map card settings as created in `/homeassistant/.storage/lovelace.map’:

{
  "version": 1,
  "minor_version": 1,
  "key": "lovelace.map",
  "data": {
    "config": {
      "strategy": {
        "type": "map"
      }
    }
  }

The map card just shows a map of my area with the current position of the entity trackers overlaid.

Yes! That is what I mean as I would like to show tracker over a discrete period rather than just current or last X hours…
