It is no secret that Google Maps is a tremendous feature that
a lot of us use in our everyday lives. The immense popularity of the
feature combined with the sheer functionality is something that helps
millions of people every day. What you may not know, however, is that
Google can track your location history and display special map for you
to view. While some of you will like this feature, others may be
concerned about their privacy and want to prevent Google from doing
that. Here is how you can enable or disable the feature and what you can
do with it.
First of all, you need to go here
https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/.
If you have enabled the feature before you will be able to see a line
map of your activity over the recent months. You can choose different
dates in the calendar on the left side of the window. If you click on
the gear icon at the top right corner, you will be taken to this page
https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/settings. There you can enable or disable the feature any time you want.
However, disabling the feature will not delete your history. That
will stay stored in Google’s database and you can view it even after you
have disabled the Location History. To delete it you will need to go to
the first page listed here. There you will able to delete specific time
periods or all of your history. Keep in mind that the process is
irreversible so think about it for a while before doing something you
might regret. As a last note, the feature can be turned on and off in
specific devices, meaning that you can enable it in your tablet and
disable it in your smartphone for example. How to do that differs from
device to device but it can be usually found in the Location settings.
