Multiple (two) apps (sources) that track location - recommendation #2331

This is essentially a question about the best practices for using Dawareich.

I use a Pixel 6 Pro with OwnTracks and Home Assistant as sources for location points.
Dawarich is up to date at version 1.3.1.

As far as I can tell, the apps have slightly different locations at slightly different points in time. Home Assistant has less up-to-date points; they differ by a few minutes or so.

This results in tracks where I see my location change forward, then jump backward after a few points (OwnTracks has much faster points, if it works).

I only added Home Assistant because it already tracks my location, and I thought it would be a good backup if OwnTracks stops working or something goes wrong.

Is there a way to filter out one app's points, or should one stop adding HomeAssistant's location data because it's not frequent / precise enough?

I guess the issue would be resolved if the "multi-device" feature were available? (hinted at in #337)

Thank you very much!
