Following the van’s journeys

Turning the van’s tracker data into useful trip information.

I’ve been playing with the data from the van’s tracker to get a better picture of where we’ve been and how the van is doing.

The tracker feeds information through Node-RED and MQTT. I’m using that to build a record of journeys in [Tape](https://l.jmc.tools/tape), with things like start and finish points, distances and times. There are still details to refine, but I rather like the idea of having a useful record of our travels without having to fill it all in by hand.
