Insights

The Insights page provides a comprehensive dashboard for analyzing your location history data. It offers visualizations, statistics, and patterns to help you understand your movement habits and travel behaviors over time.

Accessing Insights​

Navigate to the Insights page from the main navigation menu. You can select different years to view historical data, or choose "All Time" to see aggregated statistics across your entire location history.

  • Countries Visited - Number of unique countries
  • Cities Visited - Number of unique cities

  • Lighter colors indicate less movement
  • Darker colors indicate more movement
  • Gray cells indicate no recorded activity

Hover over any cell to see the exact date and distance traveled that day. The heatmap also shows the number of active days for the selected year.

  • Longest Streak - Your best consecutive active days record, including the date range when it occurred

This feature helps you stay motivated to track your location consistently.

Year Comparison​

When viewing a specific year, the Insights page compares your statistics with the previous year:

  • Distance change (percentage increase/decrease)

This helps you understand trends in your travel and movement patterns over time.
