Google Maps Go VS OwnTracks

All these third-parties are just using limited APIs from other networks and sometimes only one source like the US government network which has very few sensors very far away from most people. Other network maps: https://google.com/maps/@/data=!5m1!1e9 https://www.airnow.gov/ https://map.purpleair.com/ https://map.airgradient.com/ https://www.iqair.com/air-quality-map https://data.usatoday.com/fires/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

Here's the link: google.com/maps - you don't need a longer link (The image is facing SE). Source: 10 months ago

Hmm interesting.. maps.google.com redirects me to google.com/maps on my brave though, idk why it does not take you to google.com/maps website. Source: 11 months ago

a while ago they proxied maps.google.com to www.google.com/maps and default Google Maps link is google.com/maps now. Source: 11 months ago

Most Bizzare of all, even using Google's DNS, I can't resolve "maps.google.com" or "news.bbc.co.uk" on the network... Yet I CAN resolve "google.com/maps" and "bbc.co.uk/news". Source: about 1 year ago

The only private alternatives are going to be self hosted and will require some technical skill. See owntracks for details. Source: 12 months ago

On your side, you need some way to be tracked. Easy solution is an app on your phone, I like OwnTracks as a privacy-respecting option. Source: about 1 year ago

Sounds like owntracks with a android headunit https://owntracks.org/. Source: about 1 year ago

OwnTracks is app people can install on their phones that you can setup to send live gps coordinates back to your web server. Source: about 1 year ago

One container where this would have been an issue for me is OwnTracks recorder. Probably could have got it working on ARM if I wanted to compile the program then create a container around it, but didn't want to spend the time and instead just used the free tier x86_64 VM. Source: over 1 year ago
