I have Location Reporting enabled via the Google Now app on iOS, yet my Timeline is only showing stuff from my old Android devices.
Would be great if we had the Google PM here on PH!
Looks like they've added "Walking" and "Moving" so you can see photos taken during those portions of your day, not just at stopped locations. https://plus.google.com/+ChuckKa...
Update: Besides Moving and Walking, there is also Driving, In a train, Running and Cycling. https://plus.google.com/+ChuckKa...
Super excited about this. So far I've mainly been using Moves but the Google Maps data looks a lot more accurate (on the other hand it doesn't track actual steps) and better designed.
@lehrjulian Exactly! Hoping to get Timeline soon. But without the activity data (might happen on Android devices, but I'm on an iPhone), Moves will continue being on my phone.
I've had a dream since childhood of having a perfect map of everywhere I've ever been. A few apps have come close, but running trackers aren't meant to be left on all the time, GPS drains phone batteries, the background iOS location tracking was discovered and removed, and the only real options are old hacks like openpaths.cc. Hopefully this brings us one step closer!
So, the idea behind this is...I know where I walked today? Other than finding lost items & proving to the police that I wasn't involved in the murder, is there a use for this?
@codebyjeff One use case for me: I went to a restaurant the other week and couldn't remember what it was called. So I ended up looking at my Uber history to see where it had dropped me off -- I imagine this would fulfill that same use case.
From time to time, go there and clear your history. Make it part of your digital maintenance
