This tutorial is based on Google Map and most of the credit goes to @patrik_gfeller . All I’ve done is update it to use the GPSTracker binding instead of MQTT and Scripted Automation using Python for the Rules.

You find them on GitHub: openHABdbTools Some further description how they work you can read here: https://albold-home.de/create-gpx-tracks-with-openhab2-presence-detection/ h…
