** More Location History Dashboard
** More Location History Dashboard
Google had a cool feature as part of Location History: a Dashboard that displayed how you spend your time, how much do you spend at work or at home, the places you've visited, when you visited each country, your flights, the distance you've traveled (including the number of additional miles to the Moon). This feature, which was launched in 2010 as part of Google Latitude and was still in beta, is gone and the Dashboard redirects to the Location History homepage. Google confirmed that the feature was ******* last month: "You can continue to view and manage your Location History information by going to https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/, but we've ******* the Location History Dashboard (the part of the Location History website that provided a summary of your locations, including total miles traveled and trip information). We are **t removing Location History entirely or deleting any raw Location History information. We're continuing to explore More useful and relevant ways for you to engage with and view Location history." Here are some screenshots from Bogdan Bele and guao.hk:   And here are the remaining features:  For some people, the Dashboard was one of the main reasons to enable Location History. "I thought the Dashboard was a nice record of my travels, and it was the only reason I activated Location reporting on my Android phone. If the Dashboard has permanently disappeared, then it means that Google is tracking my Location for their own purposes, and **t giving me anything in return," says Rob Fuller, a reader of this blog. Location History is actually used by some Google **w cards. "Google **w uses your Location History, which may include locations saved from your use of other Google products, to monitor traffic on your commute route and more," informs Google. There's even a card that shows a summary of your activity. Google Maps also uses it to personalize search results.
