                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.

To extract that data, you can go to takeout.google.com and request for the Location History data from there.
This gets generated as a JSON file which you should download.
You can then convert that JSON file to a CSV, by using  https://gist.github.com/devdattaT/c9dcae2107622215ff2e798dd185087e
Finally load that data in https://kepler.gl/#/demo to view locations on a Map
