    Google Knows Where You’ve Been, And Your Timeline For Maps Shows You

    Google Now on your smartphone — you're likely aware of the fact that Google tracks your location to serve you useful information. What you might not realize is just how much location data Google has on you. Surprisingly enough, the company has just turned that somewhat creepy bit of info into a new feature called Your Timeline. For Google Maps users on Android and on the web, this feature will let you "visualize your real-world routines" — a less sketchy way of saying you can see everywhere that Google has tracked you with its Location History setting.

    Google's typically excellent app design, Your Timeline shows up in a nice, scrollable format that reminds me of the new Google Calendar app, letting you swipe your way through a day to see where Google saw you

      Google Photos app for that extra bit of "this is your life" oddness. Of course, Google notes that this data is all private to you and you can delete it all at any time.
