On client app While service is deactivated Copy the identifier, Insert the server URL (your dens,domain), Select location accuracy (high), Select frequency report ~120 sec, disable wakelock  and enable the service
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
On status verify that the location is updating
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
On server Top left menu Select the plus icon to add a device Select a random name And the identifier from the client app And save
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The you can select the device on the top left menu
 |

## Migrate google location history takeout to traccar
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
[download your google maps location history takeout](https://takeout.google.com/takeout/custom/local_actions,location_history,maps,mymaps?)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
select location history only
 | 
			
		||||
and json as format
 | 
			
		||||
extract the Records.json
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
you'll use a python script to limit the resaults to just time , latitude and longitude converted to proper coordinates
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`git clone https://github.com/Scarygami/location-history-json-converter`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`cd location-history-json-converter`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`python location_history_json_converter.py Records.json  output.csv -f csv`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
csv output will generate Comma-separated text file with a timestamp field and a location field
 | 
			
		||||
we'll add a deviceid , protocol and valid fileds to it
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`sed 's/^/osmand,1,/; s/$/,1/' export.csv > curated.csv`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
delete the "1" from the first line an replace osmand with protocol in the first line
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
so now the file looks like
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
protocol,Time,Latitude,Longitude
 | 
			
		||||
osmand,1,2012-08-25 21:26:20,37.95954620,23.72793730,1
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
5 columns
 | 
			
		||||
osmand
 | 
			
		||||
1
 | 
			
		||||
time
 | 
			
		||||
lat
 | 
			
		||||
lon
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
We are going to parse those values to as sql `LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE` statement to the appropriate tc_position table fields
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
copy the csv to the container
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`docker cp curated.csv traccar-db:/`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
open a root mysql shel to the db container
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`docker exec -it traccar-db mysql -uroot -pROOTPASSWORD`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
connect to database
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
`use traccar-db`
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
load the data 
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'inn.csv' INTO TABLE tc_positions FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' (@osmand,@deviceid,@Time,@Latitude,@Longitude,@valid) set protocol=@osmand,deviceid=@deviceid,devicetime=@Time,fixtime=@Time,servertime=@Time,latitude=@Latitude,longitude=@Longitude,valid=@valid;
 | 
			
		||||
```
