How to see your Google location history in Google Maps, and delete or turn off its location tracking

               

       For many of us, Google Maps has become an essential tool for getting around town (even though Google has been known to occasionally steer people the wrong way).

    

My 2019 From the Travel Tracking App Perspective

     

             

          

I’ve opened today my email, and the first mail on the list was from Google Maps Timeline. The content of this email triggered me to write this article. I thought that’s a perfect summary of my 2019 travel life from the perspective of a travel tracking app.

How to Get Google to Quit Tracking You

  

 

Instead of disabling half the services on your phone, you may prefer to install a virtual private network (VPN) in order to keep your activity and data private. There are plenty of services to choose from for your Android device.

To delete your entire location history, go to the Timeline, click the gear icon on the right side of the screen, and select "Delete all Location History." Like on mobile, a pop-up will ask you if you really want to do that. Check the box next to "I understand and want to delete all Location History" and then "Delete Location History."

How do I view my travel history ?

Very good tour and travel agency

          

The only reason I'm not giving this travel agency 5-stars is because our tour of Angkor was very good, but not over-the-top fantastic, so there is room for improvement (or, for travellers, some reason to consider other options). While a nice tour, we found the English of our private guide to only be good, not excellent (I could only understand about 85 to 90% of what he said), and the tour was somewhat "standard." Like we had lunch in your typical, not very good tourist trap restaurant near the ruins. He did take us a little "off the beaten path" at the sites, however, so it was a very enjoyable tour. Both the guide and driver were friendly and courteous, and they constantly plied us with free bottled water (and you're going to need that, even in the "cooler" winter months). The 5 am sunrise at Angkor is a bit ridiculous these days (my favorite shots are of the bugs and hundreds of other tourists snapping photos), but I'd do it again "for the experience."
