If you have a Google account and if you use Google maps, then click this link

here

Don't forget to also click on some past dates on the calendar....

... bet you'll be a bit more careful about where you go now!!!

jay_man2 · 15 August 2014, 04:10 PM

No location history for any dates for me.

Mr. Big · 15 August 2014, 04:17 PM

Holy crap, this is scary! Is Google also tracking how many times I go to the bathroom???

Of course they are.... and also what you did in there!!!

This is my history from Monday... lucky I skipped going to the mistress that day, otherwise would have some explaining to do

PS. I have blurred the screen grab, not sure I want the whole world to know my movements...

rg9390 · 15 August 2014, 05:47 PM

Glad there is nothing for me! I think I have turned everything off...

No history for me either but the fact that we "had a choice" does not mean the information is not availiable

applebook · 15 August 2014, 07:00 PM

Glad not to have a data plan! This tracks only where and when I've accessed wi-fi hotspots, which is mostly just at home.

cop414 · 15 August 2014, 08:33 PM

Yikes, no history for me, it might be useful for old farts like me though, sometimes I can't remember what I did yesterday, this would be of great help there!!

HL65 · 15 August 2014, 08:37 PM

Great Tim . . .

Take care buddy

Travelair007 · 15 August 2014, 11:49 PM

I clicked your link and took the Google servers down....yes, my location history is that disturbing!!!

mjclark32 · 15 August 2014, 11:59 PM

No history for me either, guess that's a good thing!

Baco Noir · 16 August 2014, 12:15 AM

Another Google user with no tracking history here. I even searched back for 30 days and nada!

Noonan · 16 August 2014, 12:21 AM

Nothing for me and I use Chrome on all my devices.

subtona · 16 August 2014, 12:23 AM

Which device are you using?

77T · 16 August 2014, 12:38 AM

If you navigate via the live GPS feature in any of the map apps then the provider has your permission to track location services by the wording in their EULA.

So in one way Google is more transparent vs others who don't offer the ability to review data. Ahem...cough, cough...Apple...

scottIN · 16 August 2014, 12:40 AM

Mine showed up as well. And it's not just when Google Maps is open - it essentially tracks where your phone as been-not what you've mapped. Like it mapped my walk last night & I was not running Google Maps-I had killed it a few days ago.

Yep if you use the app and allow Location Services to run for that app, then you're tracked. And the EULA states they can keep the data.

eman1200 · 16 August 2014, 01:41 AM

this is interesting. here is a screenshot from my recent location history. this is actually from a local flight I took. when flying I use Garmin Pilot, I never use google maps to navigate. is it possible I was just logged into something google related? maybe but not likely.

here is some more information from google on location services, maybe after I read this it'll 'splain this better.

GB-man · 16 August 2014, 01:17 PM

Mine must be off as I have no history

shay2nak · 16 August 2014, 08:26 PM

No history for me either. Iphone 4S, I do use google maps everyday to check traffic, i don't use my gmail account at all.

Scot_3 · 17 August 2014, 01:09 PM

No google acct, never needed one, at least I don't think I need one, what would be the benefit to me?

GradyPhilpott · 17 August 2014, 01:26 PM

I use Google Now and I'm pretty comfortable with it.

The map that I got for today's travel has me going all the way to Cline's Corners, which I didn't do.

Even though this is the first time I've seen this particular map, I was not surprised that it showed me traveling to Cline's Corners, because when I'm in Moriarty, my WeatherBug often shows me in either Edgewood or Cline's Corners.

I'm not sure why that happens, except that WeatherBug latches on to the closest station that it can receive and Moriarty hasn't kept one in one place for very long.

Now, why Google makes this mistake, I don't know, because Google should not only be getting my GPS data, but also my Wi-Fi data.

With mistakes like that, I think these data are not likely to be of much use in a court of law or in any application that has serious consequences, unless you're married.

daveathall · 17 August 2014, 04:06 PM

I have all my Google services active, TBH I am not bothered in the least that I can/am be/being tracked, the majority of my movement is tracked by the large amount of security cameras that are deployed in the UK anyway. I've done nothing wrong, so in some way the combination of these two would to some degree protect me from wrongful accusations.

T. Ferguson · 17 August 2014, 05:03 PM

No history for me but if it did it would probably just show me being here the whole time.

Note to self: Screw the iphone 6 and keep the flip phone.

Challenger Deep · 17 August 2014, 05:57 PM

It shows nothing for me. I guess google isn't fast enough to keep up with this cat.

Must admit that i have found areas where it is not 100% accurate also, I traveled direct from Northallerton to Thirsk rather than doing a detour to Osmotherley as portrayed here, I also didn't visit Yarm that day. It may be where there is no service (masts) the dots are joined up at the end as a prediction of the route going from known mast locations.

Rashid.bk · 18 August 2014, 12:04 AM

Just turn off tracking in your settings and don't give permission when asked. Also be careful with your fotos, phones record all location data in the information. So your innocent wrist shot may be telling the whole internet where you live.

If we don't pay attention to whats going on in Congress we might not be able to turn these features off tin the future.

joe100 · 18 August 2014, 12:14 AM

Embrace the horror. I'm not cool or nefarious to be interesting enough follow around.

jot_ · 18 August 2014, 12:15 AM

I have a pretty complete history there, based on the movements of my Android phone.

I've heard about location tracking a while ago, and it can be turned off. Most people don't know it exists on their phones though. Buddy of mine is a lawyer and one of his clients was sunk by this location history data. So something to keep in mind if you're planning on committing any crimes.
