Importing Data - ads04r/imouto-viewer GitHub Wiki

There are three ways to import data into Imouto. Manually uploading using the web interface or via Django management command, or automatically using directory watchers.

Web Interface

The web interface on the Upload page has a file selector. Using this you can upload a GPS file to Imouto Viewer, which will in turn pass it to the Location Manager. The web interface accepts the following file types:

  • GPX, exported from (for example) a GPS logger app on a smartphone
  • FIT, an ANT-FIT file typically found by connecting a Garmin fitness tracker to a computer via USB

When performing an import, you must fill in the source field. This is an identifier denoting where the data came from. For example, one might use phone_gps for a file exported from a smartphone app. This currently doesn’t get used for anything within Imouto, but after many instances of using a particular GPS for a while before discovering it’s unreliable, I needed a way to delete all data from a particular source.

Django Management Commands
