Google Maps announced a new feature called Your Timeline which helps to easily remember all the places you have visited. This new feature is rolling out on Desktop and Android version of Google Maps.
Google Maps, Your Timeline, is a useful way to remember and view the places you’ve been on a given day, month or year. Your Timeline allows you to visualize your real-world routines, easily see the trips you’ve taken and get a glimpse of the places where you spend your time. And if you use Google Photos, it will show the photos you took when viewing a specific day, to help resurface your memories.
And if you are using Google+ Photos, Google can now shifted all your memorable photos to the new Google Photos. Because Google shut down Google Plus photos from August 1. This new Google Photos app be able to create backup, edit, and share the photos and videos, with unlimited storage, automatic organization, and more.
“Your Timeline” is private and visible only to you; and you control the locations you choose to keep. This means you can easily delete a day or your full history at any time. You can edit any place that appears in Your Timeline, including removing a specific location or giving a frequented spot a private name like — Mom’s House or My Favorite Running Spot. This spot will then appear right in Google Maps when you’re logged in.
“Available on desktop and Android, you can access Your Timeline if you’ve opted-in to store your Location History with Google. If you have this setting enabled, you may already be familiar with the useful experiences it can offer across our products, such as providing Now notifications when there are traffic incidents along your commute or reminding you where you parked your car. With Your Timeline, you have even more ways to view and control your location data,”said Google Maps blog.
