I have the app on Android and can see the location of my unit next to me. I want to see a trail of it’s presence when I take it for a walk. It seems so basic. I do it with dog trackers and can save the events. I must be missing something here.
No idea what you mean by the Arduino IDE. I did not see any reference to it in the videos or docs.
If you keep the phone app open and connected to the tracker it should show the route on the map the only problem is if you have the phone and tracker together… you could just do it with your phone

Hi there,
Ding, DIng, DIng… we have a winner!
You are Correct Sir (in my best Ed McMahon voice) 
Tested on my New Phone and worked excellent on my old phones , Sammy GS8+ & GS9+, current RAZR+ 2023 
BAM!
Yes, you’re absolutely right! Google Maps has a feature called “Timeline” that allows you to see your route history and the trail of locations you’ve visited. It acts sort of like a breadcrumb trail of where you’ve been. Here’s how you can view your route history or breadcrumb trail on Google Maps:
Using Google Maps Timeline on Your Mobile Phone (Android & iOS)
- Open Google Maps on your smartphone.
- Tap your Profile Icon (top right corner).
- Select “Your Timeline” from the menu.
- You’ll see a timeline of the places you’ve been, with dates and routes.
- You can select a particular date to see the detailed path you took on that day.
Features:
- Shows a continuous path (breadcrumb trail) of your route.
- You can view the exact routes you took, how you traveled (walking, driving, etc.), and even stops you made.
- Allows you to export location data if needed.
Requirements:
- Location History must be enabled on your Google Account.
- Your phone must have Location Services turned on and be connected to your Google Account.
Exporting Data (If Needed):
If you want to import these tracks to another app, you can use Google Takeout to download your location history as a JSON or KML file. Then, you can import that data into Google Earth or even overlay it on other maps.
Now, How Does This Compare to the T1000E Tracker?
The T1000E tracker likely logs its trail separately within its app. However, if you want to overlay that same trail in Google Maps, you would have to export the GPS log file from the T1000E tracker’s app and convert it to a compatible format (KML or GPX file).
Would you like to ? You can ** export the T1000E tracker trail and import it into Google Maps or Google Earth for a visual breadcrumb trail**? Also, it is possible to combine data from the T1000E tracker and your phone’s GPS for a comprehensive trail? 
if the T1000 E does save the location data? YMMV

I also use the Google maps API & key to get location with Xiao so pretty much anything is possible if the hardware can hang 
yes i believe the log can be exported… I have loaned my tracker out so i cant test right now… but that was also a example solution
