Google Maps makes it easy to get around, but you might not like seeing every single place you’ve been laid out on a map. Here’s how to check your location history: 

• When logged into your Google account on a computer, open maps.google.com.
• Click on the hamburger menu in the top left corner.
• When the full side menu is open, click on Your timeline. This will bring up a complete map of where you’ve been.
• Data of places you visited can also be recalled by opening the side menu, clicking on Your Places, then clicking Visited. 

Pro tip: You can keep certain trips out of your search history by switching on Incognito mode. Google Maps won’t keep your search history or update your location history to include this location. Here are the simple steps to enable it.
