A Places tab similar to the Activity tab

The basic idea being to take the Activity tab, but instead of showing the activities that fall within the chosen date range, show the places. Then you’d be able to tap into details views for each place, seeing statistics for that place within that date range, with differences from average, a map view, etc.

    The map view for a place should show all visits as individual dots, and allow to tap on each visit to open it. This is already kind of possible by showing a weekly timeline map and zooming in on a specific location. The Places map would just show the dots for the selected location.

    Seconding Bernd’s map suggestion.

    I think also the map view could use clustering (depending on zoom level). Because for small places, the majority of the visits will all be clustered around almost the exact same coordinate. So a big pile of dots will just be messy.

    With the dots clustered (thus showing a visit count for the cluster icon), the map would become more readable. Then zooming in further could spread open the cluster.

    One of the big benefits of this map, as discussed on Slack, is that it’d make it trivially easy to find the outliers, thus the incorrectly assigned visits.

    can we have the option to enable / disable clustering if you do it that way? I really prefer seeing my maps unclustered. With swarm unless your’e insanely close even relatively far apart check ins are displayed very close to each other

    This one is now moved to planned / in progress, as part of Arc 4.0 😄🎉

    A Places tab is definitely one feature I am quite looking forward as it makes it much easier to search for activities based on location. Thank you Matt!

    With this please add a simplify data feature

    Sure I understand keeping the original data but now when I export I have a lot of things that show up as airplanes even though I assigned a location

    Can you add a option (maybe with a warning of lossy data) that allows for track simplification on places or manually confirmed routes

    Seconding Tim’s request re unclustering. I’m not a fan of how Swarm clusters!

    Quick note to mention that the Bernd’s suggestion of the map showing all visits to a place is now implemented (in Arc 3.7.0 I think).

    You can see that particular map view by tapping on “Total visits” on a visit details view, in the “Place Statistics” section. That view, showing a list of all visits to the place, now shows the visit circles on the map. The map updates to show the circles of the visits currently visible in the list, as you scroll down.

    You can also see the same by going into the Common duration/arrival/leaving views and tapping through to see the visits lists for individual histogram bars.

    The main feature request for a Places tab is still on the todos though!

    Great, I didn’t realize that this is available now!

    Amazing! I just used that to cut a street fair into multiple ”hubs”. Despite it being in 2019 and never used again, uncertain locations in that neighborhood still default to that original single wide-diametered location. Fingers crossed that won’t happen now?

    Yep, that should fix it Fern!

    I did the same thing (or at least tried to, from memory) for a local street market in my neighbourhood. I used to classify every brief stop during the yearly festival as the “Winter Fest”, but that meant that every time I stopped anywhere in my neighbourhood that wasn’t one of my regular places, it’d be all dude_looking_at_butterfly.gif, “Is this the Winter Fest?” Heh.
