Google Maps now lets you revisit your location history in a detailed timeline | DigitalFootPrint | DigitalCitiZEN

Google Maps now lets you revisit your location history in a detailed timeline | DigitalFootPrint | DigitalCitiZEN | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

It’s inspiring — in a crazy sort of way — to consider how efficient Google can be in keeping track of information about you. Today, Google announced the launch of “Your Timeline,” a tool in Google Maps that shares with you all the places you have been. It works if you chose to store your Location History with Google.


Product manager Gerard Sanz detailed the feature in blog post, as the company gradually rolls out the timeline for Maps users.


It could definitely serve as a convenience. What with our busy lives, sometimes it’s hard to remember all the stops along the way. Google sees Your Timeline as a way to quickly recall, and even view your past whereabouts.

Google's new 'My Account' lets you tweak privacy and security settings

Google's new 'My Account' lets you tweak privacy and security settings | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

When Google's not tracking what sites users visit online so it can target-marketthem, its snoopy Street View cars are driving around and sniffing unsecured wireless networks and their passwords, usernames, and private email.

But here's something else Google knows about us: even though 93% of us think it's important to control access to our personal information, and in spite of the fact that 90% of us care about the type of information that's collected about us, a measly 9% of us feel we have "a lot" of control over our data, according to a recent Pew study.

Well, Google wants to change that feeling of helplessness, it says.

That's why the company announced on Monday that it had launched My Account, a new dashboard designed to make it easier for users to control the settings related to their privacy and data.

As well, Google launched a new site that answers questions about privacy and security.
