Personally, I use GPSLogger from FDroid on a 15 minute ping interval and then load the files into Location Map Viewer (also FDroid) for my own location tracking. Disabled Google awhile ago.
I back the files up to a home NAS.
Just curious, why do you feel the need to track your own movements?
If you have ever lost something and had to retrace your steps it helps but I guess it's not super important or relatable for most people
Ah, makes sense, that's a use case I hadn't thought of.
