This Google Maps feature is cooler (and creepier) than you think

There’s one feature of Google Maps that I overlooked for a long time. Tucked away in my settings, I stumbled upon the Timeline almost by accident. Yet it had been there, quietly working away in the background, logging my every move, from the coffee shops and gas stations I visited the previous week, to the trip to Europe I took at Christmas; even the diversion that I took to gorge on fast food when my partner was away on a business trip.
