This was fantastic until it was no longer available. I am based in South Africa and the company Milage Wise you are suggesting does not support outside US and Canada
Funktioniert aktuell perfekt. Die in der vorherigen Rezension genannten Doppel-Einträge und falsche Berechnung der Dauer kann ich nicht feststellen, bei mir stimmt alles. Sollte keine Einträge erscheinen, dann in einem neuen Browser-Tab in Google Chrome die Google-Maps-Timeline-Seite als neue Seite (!) aufrufen. Dann folgt eine Abfrage, ob man ein Roboter ist - und wenn diese verneint wird, funktioniert wieder alles. Das Problem tritt auf, wenn sehr große Datenmengen (z. B. mehrmals lange Zeiträume) abgerufen werden ... die Google-Server blockieren dann vorübergehend weitere Abfragen.
This would be great if the formatting was adjustable, my CSV export has distances shown as [14.758 KM] which makes it unusable for calculations. if it would say [14,758] without added text this would be a huge game changer. So: great tool, but just not for me, unfortunately.
