iOS GPS log­ger and com­pass

felix schwenzel in notiert

aa­ron pare­cki’s (@aa­ronpk) iOS GPS log­ger works pret­ty well in con­junc­tion with com­pass. with one ex­cep­ti­on though: the un­der­ground.

i found com­pass in the foo­ter of aa­ron’s new te­le­graph web app, whe­re it’s lis­ted as part of the p3k suite. com­pass at p3k.io didn’t work though (it th­rew 500 er­rors). so i un­com­men­ted 2 li­nes in App­De­le­ga­te.m to use com­pass at com­pass.es­rip­dx.com in­s­tead of com­pass.p3k.io.

to make the app upload the lo­ca­ti­on data i had to add a wri­te to­ken that i got from com­pass.es­rip­dx.com/set­tings/[da­ta­ba­se name]. with tho­se hard­coded cre­den­ti­als the ios GPS log­ger sends it’s data to com­pass just fine.

nice work aa­ron, thanks a lot for ope­ning your tools to the pu­blic!
