OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
As far as I know, owntracks doesn't actually store location history, it only defines a protocol for exchanging current location info between programs. If you're using their "official" recording server, writing a script to import history looks super easy [1].

Open-source, self-hosted location tracking with OwnTracks and Grafana
After setting up the client side, a server-side component to receive the OwnTracks app's requests is still missing. OwnTracks ships with its Recorder, which is a small and simple web application written in C. However, I did not like it a lot, as it does not look particularly beautiful and is very limited regarding its functionality. I rather wanted to visualize my data in Grafana. But to get it there, it first needs to be persisted to a database.

When creating bike routes, why does Strava try to avoid bike trails/paths
Strava doesn't build their own maps. They use the service OpenStreetMap. You can head over to OSM, create an account, and begin editing the map if you find any trouble. That data will then appear in Strava, eventually. Might take several weeks for changes to appear.

Importing map from google maps
But what will help is if you are open to using (OSM)[https://www.openstreetmap.org/] instead of Google Maps. There is a (OSM plugin)[https://github.com/osrf/gazebo_osm] for Gazebo which worked well when I used it an year ago.

xkcd 2617: Maps
OpenStreetMap. Crazy detailed street map. Both coffee shop and restaurant is there. No obvious way to get information on either though. 3 stars.

Running in West Seattle?
I highly recommend using Open Street Map if you aren't already. Much better than Google Maps for up-to-date trail info (GMaps is missing a ton of trails all over). I also like On The Go Maps for distance calculations -- uses Open Street Map data.
