Google has made the Timeline tool of Google Maps available to iOS devices.
Timeline tracks users’ movements based on their location, providing a clear picture of where they’ve been, for how long, and how they got there. Timelines can be useful for recalling information about unfamiliar places you may have visited, as well as keeping tabs on your favorite locations.
Users are in control of what appears in their Timeline. The feature gives people full control over deleting specific locations, routes, days, and even the entire travel history. People can customize their typical mode of transportation, as well as view place cards of locations or businesses they’ve previously visited.
Plus, Timeline will provide monthly recaps to iOS users via email with summaries of the cities, countries, and places they’ve visited over the previous month. Timeline is optional and can be disabled.
Google Maps is free to download from the iTunes App Store. Timeline has been available to Android devices for some time.
