If you've ever wanted a convenient way to keep track of your stops on your latest trip with Google Maps for Android, you may be in luck. Google appears to be quietly rolling out a new "Timeline" feature which allows you to take a look at your location history in detail.
The feature, called "Your Timeline," was pointed out to us by a reader, and places your location history in a new menu item located directly below the "Your Places" option in the hamburger menu. Overall, the timeline is presented in a relatively clean manner. You can swipe left or right to scroll between days, with a list of places you visited and how you got there sorted chronologically below a map of the day's trip.
One of the cooler aspects of the timeline is that you can select a particular stop to see not only the timespan that you were there, but also any pictures that you took while you were stopped there. Additionally, if you don't want a stop to show up on your timeline, you can tap the edit button and remove it. Going further, you can add a personal place by selecting it on the map and giving it a custom name.
Overall, this looks like a pretty great feature if you find a great restaurant or shop and want to remember where it is. The feature looks to be part of a slow roll-out, so it may take a bit to land on your device.
