Hi @Chisom081

I rarely use the timeline. I see lots of inaccuracies as if the location is sampled less frequently that optimal.

I keep it on because it can help me locate which date I did what. Simply a support to my memory. Examples include: the transport authorities reached out and told me I forgot to pay for a trip. In my timeline I could quickly check what the problem was. I guess if I some day need to prove where I was as a witness the timeline could also come in handy. So far I only served as a witness once in my life :wink:

I’m also using Google Rewards. Ther I often gets asked when I visited a certain shop or business. When in doubt I check my timeline.

So basically, I agree with you that it is not of much use.

All the best
