Has anyone used the Traccar integration with a full Traccar server vs the webhook Android client?

There's an issue with the latest version of the Traccar client sending more data than HA can understand (Traccar Integration: extra keys not allowed #84540)

So, I was wondering whether it's worth setting up a full Traccar Server?

It seems like total overkill, but maybe it has other benefits?

It is available as an addon and pretty easy to set up. I am using it with a dedicated GPS tracker

Thanks, and what benefits do you see over just the Traccar client?

It looks like you can see if the driver is going "too fast" or stopping to refuel, but that's not important to me personally as I'm tracking myself.

Haven’t used traccar client. Having a dedicated device can help you track stolen car, integrating tc with ha can let you use its location for automations (like opening gate, etc.).
