Timeline VisualizerUnderstand and check your Google Maps Timeline
Timeline can help revisit recorded trips, but its availability and retention depend on device settings and auto-delete. Check the app on the phone before relying on an export.
Before you start
Check Timeline on the phone first. Google Maps stores the data on the device, and its menus can vary by platform and app version.
What to check
The official Google help page explains export, backup and auto-delete settings. A JSON export cannot add visits that were never recorded.
- Open Timeline in the Google Maps app on the phone that recorded the trip.
- Review backup and auto-delete settings before exporting a JSON file for this site.

Timeline JSON, selected photos and optional audio are read on your device to create your video. This site does not receive those file contents.
