Yeah, that’s really “zoomed in” to see you were in NYC /s

Turn the location history off.

Can’t you turn it off?

The Google business model is, of course, to totally own every scrap of information about you. So you shouldn’t be surprised by this stuff.

I have an eye phone. I’d like to think it’s better in this regard, but maybe not.

Took a quick look. I don’t exist.

Location is usually turned off, and location is denied to most apps. Android.

A phone Faraday cage of some type for most minutes of the day is in order for everyday going forward.

You know what’s very weird about Google timeline? They have some weird blacklist of places of worship... or at least Catholic churches. It basically never shows me in church (EVEN if the church is also like a tourist attraction, e.g., Sagrada Familia in Barcelona).

You can go into your privacy settings and turn it off. Plus delete your location history.

Websearch it.

Yeah, I have an Android smart phone too and get the Google timeline emailed to me each month.

I'm old and retired so I don't hardly ever leave my city but it's fun to see where I've been so I don't forget, LOL.

Of course Google can do the same as Garmin or SPOT GPS personal trackers for hiking - on the Application Trail will limited and spotty tower reception. With Google Maps it will show your progress right on the Application Trail with ever fading in and out cell tower reception. Poor Fani gettin spanked.

It could come in handy if you are accused of a crime you didn’t commit.

George Orwell never imagined that people would someday voluntarily buy recording devices for their homes and carry tracking devices wherever they go.

No dots for me. A custom OS minus ALL Google apps is your friend.

It’s what you allow on your phone location wise. Deny all location or only when app is in use i.e weather etc.

Always force stop an app or disable when done and clear cache.

For the most part my cell location is kitchen, Livingroom or deck when active 🤣🤣🤣
