[Question] Import timeline.json twice

[mcwieger]

If import my timeline.json file from Google twice, will it recognize the duplicates and only import the new points?

Hi @mcwieger, I converted your issue here. I think it is better suited and others can find it more easily.

Now to your question: you are probably asking about the current timeline.json. If so, I need to double-check. Reitti detects duplicate geopoints based on the timestamp. But with the new timeline.json, we have to create synthetic geo points around your visits. I need to check if the creation of these points always creates the same timestamps. It should, but sometimes the milliseconds part differs.

Let me check, i will post an answer as soon as possible

Hi @mcwieger,

I verified it and it is safe to import the file multiple times. It will trigger a recalculation but no geo points willl be doubled.
