Google is rolling out a new “Your Timeline” feature for Maps over the coming weeks that is certain to thrill some folks—and horrify others. </p><p>
The feature allows you to view your entire location history on Google Maps based on data pulled from your devices when signed-in to your Google account. Google calls Your Timeline (http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2015/07/your-timeline-revisiting-world-that.html) “a useful way to remember and view the places you’ve been on a given day, month or year.”</p><figure class="medium inline"><a class="zoom" href="https://cms-images.idgesg.net/images/article/2015/07/side_menu_timeline-100597738-orig.png">(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2015/07/side_menu_timeline-100597738-medium.png)[/url]</figure>
<p>
You can already view your location history by diving into the My Account dashboard for your Google account (http://www.pcworld.com/article/2929090/google-unifies-your-privacy-and-security-settings-in-one-spot.html). The difference now is that it will be available in a more user-friendly manner right from the Google Maps menu on the desktop or Android.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2951099/web-applications/google-maps-new-your-timeline-feature-helps-you-track-your-travel-history.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
