Looking for a FOSS Speedometer and Map (lemmynsfw.com)

It's about time to start tending the pastures again and I'm looking for something that can accurately depict speed logged on the device (android smart phone) along with possibly a map overlay of where I've already been. I think something like a workout/cycling tracker would work if someone can recommend a good one that logs the path you've taken?

I've looked at Blue Square Speedometer and it seems like a solid starting point, but the path tracking would he super beneficial if anyone knows anything.

Thanks in advance all!

I've been using traccar (https://github.com/traccar/traccar).
It's mostly for fleet management, but I've been using it as a replacement for Google maps timeline.
Its android apps ara basic but haven't had any problems with them.

Or if you find a service which doesn't provide a client you can use this app https://github.com/mendhak/gpslogger
It allows you to send the gps data to different services with their specific formats at the same time. I was using it to send the data to traccar while also saving it in a local file.

Nice, I'll have to check this out. I started digging a bit F-Droid and found Open Track, but I'm not super impressed with it so far.

I'll hop on and give yours a shot too. Or at least peruse the docs, thanks for the info neighbor!
