Google Knows Where You're Going, Starts Showing Where You've Been
Posted in: Uncategorized
Google has added a new feature to its Maps service that can help make people more aware of the places they frequent and Google’s ability to track their whereabouts.
People using Google Maps on their computer or Android phone or tablet will be able to view a timeline listing all the places they’ve been as well as a map tracing their location history, thanks to an update the company began rolling out on Tuesday.
Being able to view your location history in Google Maps is the latest example of a piece of technology helping people get a clearer view into their lives. This so-called “quantified self” trend has included the rise of fitness monitors to tally how many steps someone takes a day, sleep trackers to record their sleep patterns and even apps that note how much time people spend on specific sites on their computers.
