I loved Google Maps Timeline, which kept track of every place I've been on a given day. I could look at a day and see my driving, walking, flights, look at a place and see when I last visited it.

Unfortunately they moved to an on-device storage for security reasons and it hangs every time I open it. I also just discovered that it might not have transferred my old data from my old phone since it was encrypted on device.

Is there a good alternative to this app?

I don't really mind being tracked like this. The cell phone companies and everyone else are doing it anyways so I might as well get use out of the data.

When I share a link on Facebook, the tracking code is sometimes longer than the URL itself! Why not just assign a single alphanumeric tracking code -- it's shorter, easier to copy, and would be less likely to be removed from the link.

Are they just throwing the tracking in our faces?
