Google is introducing a new feature to its Maps application that allows users to see where they have been on any given day, month or year.
The search company already tracks the location of Android users, as long as they choose to share their location history with Google. This allows the company to provide more relevant and contextualised information within applications and ads.
For example, Google Now provides notifications when there are traffic incidents along your commute, or reminds you where you parked your car.
The new feature, called Timeline, puts this information on to a map, letting users "visualise your real-world routines, easily see the trips you've taken and get a glimpse of the places where you spend your time", according to Google.
People who use Google Photos - Google's new app that assigns tags to objects in photos and automatically arranges them into albums - can also see all the photos they took in a specific place or on a specific day on their Timeline.
