Google Maps knows everything

I’m not saying Google maps is wrong… maybe might be very accurate but in this case…

I left James Joyce Irish bar at 7:40am the other day?

It must have been a much better, or worse, night than I remember.

Was a whole thread necessary for this post? Have you considered starting a thread like “Tango’s Midlife Crisis” as a grab bag for this type of post? You know, put everything in one convenient location for easy reference.

Is it so apparent in a public space like this?

Slightly balding okay? okay.

By the way are you sitting behind me at the restaurant watching what I’m doing hey now I’m getting really paranoid (period).

I apparently have a google period (.) problem.

I’m WFH at the moment, so you can take a deep breath and relax. Wait a minute…who is that sitting behind you then? On second thought, maybe you should switch venues and see if he follows you.

I lost my bike again.

It’s not like the second time in 10 days or maybe it is.

Ooooo, that’s much worse.

:joy:

Google Maps Timeline

Google will soon (starting Nov/Dec) delete everything but last 3 months of timeline.

Save it if want to keep it.

They supposedly sending messages to opt out, but not everyone receives a message and sometimes deletes it all anyway.

Yeah it’s a shitty move by Google. I love the timeline. Moving forward it’ll be on-device and only 90 days of data.

I made a way to view all of your historical timeline data:

It deletes … does it forget?

It remembers no more.

Wow :smiley:

So is this like a one-time action to capture what’s available now but not going forward?

You can view all of your old data, and I plan to have it support the new data, but I haven’t opted into their new bs yet, so I’m not sure how it even works just yet. I think in the Maps app, going forward once opted in, you can export your device location data to a file. But you’d have to remember to do that every <90 days. Then my little script here (which, ChatGPT wrote most of…) it will load in all the relevant files.
