Almost three years ago, I posted about my entire Google Timeline (GT) history. I read that Google Timeline went live during the summer of 2015 (although my first record was on May 24, 2014), you would expect a lot more dots going from five years of data to eight years of data. I also received my kidney transplant in January of 2021, so I was more able to travel. However, COVID-19 was still raging, and travel worldwide would not rebound for another eighteen months.
Here is the total timeline as of today (November 20, 2023) versus the data from November 29, 2020.
The primary difference is the summer 2022 trip to Europe. There are dots in England, Italy, and France. I also made the map wider since I saw a random dot out in the middle of the Pacific. Zooming in…
From the above, GT says on February 8, 2018, I came home from four hours, then drove 3,600 miles to the International Date Line, and drove home. Both the recorded time and GPS location are completely messed up. If. you look up Hot Tub Under the Stars, the search results show a rental cabin in Big Bear. Strange.
If you just compare 2023 versus 2020, there is a significant difference too. This is all of 2020:
Compared to 2023:
Plus, our family trip to Canada in September/October 2023:
I was also invited to two other trips this year. One was a Thanksgiving trip (now) to Korea with several coworkers, and my cousin’s wedding in Taipei over Christmas. Unfortunately, those trips did not pan out. If I do retire next year, I hope to see more dots in other US cities and other countries.
