Google is known to have highly efficient location-based services. Now the tech giant is getting the technology that makes its services possible into a very personal service, which can virtually keep a record of every move you've made in specific places.

CBS News has reported that Google has introduced Your Timeline, a platform that keeps track of a user's whereabouts. Employed in Your Timeline is the digital mapping technology which is used in Google Maps. The app shows maps of where the user has been. From a dinner in a relative's house, to an out of town vacation, Your Timeline will have a record of the user's destinations in chronological order.

Apart from recording places where the user has been, the app also indicates how the user has gotten there, whether  via public transport, car, or walking. Google Maps has a similar feature in it, letting users see different routes using varying modes of transportation. Your Timeline is able to tell how long it has taken for the user to get to one place to another. 

The app is, like any Google service, connected to every other Google Service under the same device and account. If one is using Google Photos, photos taken during a time in a specific place will also be included in Your Timeline.  According to Google, this is to help "resurface memories."

The archiving may be handy in some ways, especially in times when a user really has to recall where he has been at a certain time. But one may not want the service to archive particular places and times they have been there, for anyone to see. Google says Your Timeline is private and can only be seen by the user. 

Google has widened the reach of its navigation services to a personal level with Your Timeline. The service is available on Android devices and desktop. 

Recently, the company has also made improvements on Google Maps, which now allows users to send maps from their desktops to android devices.
