Where have you been? Google Maps Timeline

I thought this may be of interest to some of you. I can't post an image as I have tracking turned off, but perhaps you don't.

 

There is location tracking from Google Maps enabled on most phones, either on Android or iOS. Unless you specifically turn it off - Google know everywhere you have been!

 

This will work best if you use a laptop/desktop to do the following steps.

 

1. Turn on your machine and log in to chrome (if you have an account)

 

2. Select or paste this: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/timeline

 

3. You will be taken to the timeline map which is (apparently) secure and viewable by only you. You can use the functions there to see where you were on a given day or for a certain timeframe.

 

4. Have a play with the features and take a screen print to post on AT to see who has the most interesting timeline map!

I *think* you have to be logged in to the Google Chrome browser as well. Did you do this Paul?

 

It seems to work from firefox but only shows my home, I think it logs IPs you use to access a google account, so if your android is set to receive e-mail.

 

I check the traffic before my journey home but it has not logged that.
