Sad to say that the performance of Google Timeline has gone from outstanding to abysmal, so, although i leave it running the Timeline is no longer much use for tracking our motorhome journeys. Of course that leaves us with a problem, what is the best alternative to Google Timeline?.

On our last motorhome trek through France and Spain I used Gaia, better know as a GPS and tracking app for hiking. The biggest problem I had was forgetting to start recording the track each day and then pausing the recording and finishing the track each day.

Results from Gaia are very good, the tracking is much more detailed than Google Timeline, representation on the map is very detailed, the statistics for the track are more comprehensive too.

I will prepare a more detailed assessment of Gaia for tracking motorhome journeys and post it as a full article here on ourtreks.uk. It will be linked from here when available.
