Summary/Abstract: The usefulness of geolocation equipment and associated data (loggers- or plotters-GPS, Smartphone) for research and surveys on daily mobility as well as the limits of these methods are widely recognized, and have been the subject of numerous methodological articles. on the one hand, our article contributes to this methodological knowledge by providing elements on the data processing protocol implemented during the research, which the literature shows is still evolving according to the research teams; on the other hand, it focuses on indicators that we have developed (statistical, territorial, temporal and cartographic), and on avenues for further development.
