Google Maps is testing Insights into your social life with its Timeline

Google is testing a new Maps Timeline feature. You will get an overview of your various activities: how long have you spent the past month on terraces and how many hours in total did you go shopping?

Google Maps Insights

The Google Maps Timeline is often a subject of controversy. Three years ago when it turned out that Google still follows your location everywhere, even if you turn off the Timeline. On the other hand, a Timeline is also just a handy tool, because you can see exactly where you’ve been and how long you were there for each day. Handy, for example, if you want to remember more about your activities on vacations.

Google realizes that the Timeline is a source of information about the activities of Maps users, so it is working with that data in a new Insights feature. This way you get an overview of your activities for each month, Android Police knows that.

Your life in statistics

Google shows your movements with Travel. You can see how long you have walked, how often you have taken public transport, the bicycle, the ferry and you name it. Then there are Visits where Google looks at your activities. You can see how long you have spent in catering establishments or strolling in the shopping street.

Finally, there are Highlights where the most special facts are listed. Google shows a number of interesting places where you have been, but you also see statistics such as your longest public transport trip or your busiest day of the month. You can easily switch from month to month with the arrows to view all this information.

At the moment, Insights is still being tested, but a small group of test users can already see the feature looming in Google Maps.
