How to Visualize your Google Location History

Google is extremely transparent about the Location History it has on you. You can check it out on the timeline feature in the Google Maps application on the phone, or on https://www.google.com/maps/timeline It is possible that you have that turned off, and in that case, consider yourself lucky.

If there is data there, you can view it online, or Download and Analyze it yourself.

Note: The conversion script has been updated on 2024-06-24, to match the updated format which is now generated by Google Takeout

Once I switched to timeline on my device, Google Takeout doesn't export any relevant Timeline data for me. No Records.json. You guys are awesome trying to keep up with Google's latest fiasco. Will continue following your progress. Thank You!
