gps-data-codec

Python library, implemented in Rust, that include base functions for encoding and decoding series of gps data (timestamp, latitude, longitude) using a algorithm similar to the one seen on encoded polylines.

Install

pip install gps-data-codec

Usage

>> from gps_data_codec import decode, encode
>> encode([(1628667993, 4.56543, -110.536214)]) # [(unix epoch in seconds, latitude, longitude), ...]
'qtaxyT}tzZhbtaT'
>> decode('qtaxyT}tzZhbtaT')
[(1628667993, 4.56543, -110.53621)]

Warning:

• timestamps are rounded to the closest integer value.
• latitudes and longitudes values are rounded to the 5th decimal precision when encoding.
• The series of timestamped locations must be sorted by timestamps in increasing order before encoding.
