The Heat Map that reveals how Google watches you: it knows where you have been every day




Maps Visualization
Using Google's terrifying location history data visualization, able to tell you exactly where you've been every day, a developer in the US creates a tool to visualize your movements on a terrifying heat map. Google maps watches over you. With your permission, those of Mountain View use your smartphone to control each and every one of your steps. For what?

Well, initially to introduce you to you later in a terrifying location history. You can check it here and, if you haven't seen it until now, you're going to be scared: Google knows exactly where you've been.

Now, an American developer has created a tool to visualize all that data in a different way. 
Specifically, with a heat map that would replace the lines of your routes that Google puts on the map.The platform uses the data from your history, but rest assured, your locations do not leave your computer, which is where the heat map is actually created.

To create your own heat map with this tool, you have to access Google Takeout to download the file containing your location history from there.

Finally, you just have to drag the file you have downloaded to the web, which will create a heat map with the places you've been to lately. A perfect way to visualize where you spend the most time and to verify that Google knows everything (or almost everything) about you.
