before (nor did I know how big brother like this is, at least you need to
activate on the phone the tracking).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=096091319-22032021><FONT color=#000080
size=2 face=Arial>That said I took a brief look at it and form the
timeline Google page you can export that to a kml format (Google earth
format). This results in potentially huge files and a very verbose format.
Alternatively check if you can export as a comma separated text file (csv)
directly from there (including the x/y location columns)<BR></FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=096091319-22032021><FONT color=#000080
size=2 face=Arial>You can load such a kml into QGIS natively (add vector
file), form there you might be able to export to excel as attribute only and
then save in that format and do the next (scrubbing) step in excel or libre
office. Those data you should then be able to load into QGIS as csv
files</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Hi - My name is Alex and I'm new to the QGIS USA group and QGIS
software. I'm in search of a way to take GPS data Google tracks from my phone
(date, travel origin, travel destination, and distance traveled), converting
that data into a spreadsheet format, scrubbing the spreadsheet for business
related travel, and using that data for tax purposes. Is this something that
could be quazi easily done with QGIS? If not easily done, would anyone be
interested in being hired to do this for me? I imagine this is a
lower level task for a software and user group with higher level abilities,
and I therefore mean no offense in asking these questions. Regardless of
response, I appreciate your time and insights, Alex</DIV></BODY></HTML>
