## Summary

Dawarich is a self-hosted web application designed to replace Google Timeline for tracking and visualizing your location history. It allows the import of data from Google Maps Timeline, Owntracks, Strava, GPX files, and photo EXIF data, displaying it on a map and generating statistics. The application supports location tracking via the Owntracks and Overland apps and operates using a simple `docker-compose up` command. It offers customizable settings and features such as heatmaps and reverse geocoding.
