Backup and save your google map's timeline

 

Google map's timeline is no longer available in desktop version.
It is available in Mobile though. ( I don't understand the rationale behind this.
Anyway)

Now, the problem here is, if for some reason your mobile is lost, the entire timeline is lost.


You can take backup of timeline using this link:
https://takeout.google.com/takeout/custom/local_actions,location_history,maps,mymaps 

(Always copy paste link - do not click on link directly)
 

For some reason, you cannot get this link directly from takeout.google.com.
(Why google why?)

  • You can schedule to take backup every 2 months. Download link will be sent to your email  id.
  • You can take immediate backup too.
