How to view your location history in Google Maps

See where you've traveled with Google Maps.
google maps has a nifty Timeline feature that lets you browse the places you've visited along with the routes traveled. The feature was overhauled in 2015, and Google has added the ability to collate images you've taken at a particular location, allowing you to get a better overview of your travels.
It certainly comes in handy if you're looking to see all the images you took at a particular location, or if you're trying to get a highlight of your weekly or monthly activity.
  • How to view your location history in Google Maps
  1. Launch Google Maps.
  2. Tap the more button (three horizontal lines) on the top left corner.
  3. Tap your timeline.
  4. Tap the calendar icon to view a particular day.
  5. Swipe left or right to switch months.
  6. Tap a date to view your location history. You'll see the route traveled, along with the duration and length of the overall journey.

  7. How to disable location tracking

    Timeline is certainly a useful feature if you're interested in looking at your previous travel data, but it also comes off as creepy (Google tracks everything). Fortunately, you can easily turn off location tracking in Maps.
  8. Tap the more button (three horizontal lines) on the top left corner.
  9. Tap Settings.
  10. Tap Personal content.
  11. Tap the field that says Location History is on under Location Settings.
  12. Tap the switch next to each device for which you'd like to disable location tracking.
  13. There's also the option to pause tracking for your account as a whole. To do so, toggle Location History to off, and select OK in the dialog box that follows.
    That's all there is to it! I like the timeline feature as it gives me a detailed look at where I've been over the course of the month (and how much time I wasted being stuck in traffic).
    What are your thoughts on the location history feature? Like it? Feel like it's an intrusion of your privacy? Sound off in the comments below.

Google+ (Google Plus)

Google+ (pronounced  Google plus ) is a  Google   social networking  platform. The Google+ design team sought to replicate the way people interact offline more closely than is the case in other social networking services, such as  fesbook and Twitter . The project’s slogan is “Real-life sharing rethought for the web.” Google+ features: Circles  are like categories for your connections, so that you can share updates selectively with different groups. Examples of such groups might include family, friends, office colleagues and people that you share a particular interest with. Circles may be discrete or have overlap, so that, for example, someone you work with who’s also in your book club will get updates for both groups. Users outside a circle can see a list of member names but not the name of the circle. Hangouts  are an option for video chat for up to 10 people at any given time. Google’s emphasis is on creating the kind of space that replicat...
