#2I put together a little imgur album with some examples from my own Location History: http://imgur.com/a/qLm1Q (I'm sure yours are much more interesting, though!)
location-history-visualizer is tool for visualizing your complete, consolidated, collected Google Location History. It works directly in your web browser – no software to download, no packages to install. Everyone deserves to know what data is being collected about them, without having to fiddle with cryptic pieces of software.
Would love to hear your thoughts!

#3Since I started being a digital nomad 10 months ago, people have wanted to hear more about my travels. I always wanted to start building something like this, because it's nicer than saying "Singapore for 4 weeks, Hong Kong for 2 weeks, Seoul for 9 weeks, ..." Just show them the map and they can learn whatever they want to! Thanks so much for building this and keeping it open source.
Will share images or data when I compile mine when I get the time.

Nice! :)
The only suggestion for improvement I can offer is to think through if it makes sense to "renormalize" the heatmap when I move the map or zoom the map. The current "normalization" has two for me unexpected effects:
a) My home and office is not colored "warmer" than many other places in my home town, although I bet I spend 90% of my time in those two places, and
b) I can see that I've been e.g. to Vienna, but when I zoom in I can't see anything - presumably because I've spent so little time there compared to my home town.
Some sort of "renormalization" of the heatmap would probably "fix"/change that.

#6I hope this isn't too dumb of a question but what's the best way to start collecting location history? Will it run down my iphone battery.

#7How much data do most people have? The page seems to be struggling to process my ~83MB.

I recently (~3 weeks) got an Android phone (where I assume most of this data comes from) and I'm at 4.5MB.

I have 127MB of Location History, trying to use this takes out my browser.
It's a shame really, I bet that much data would make for some good visuals.

I have 84 MB. When I uploaded the file in Chrome I got the Frozen Tab screen for a while, but then it went away and the page started showing me processing status.
