Google is sending out their annual Map Timeline replace through e-mail proper now and it’s a tragic reminder of all the locations you couldn’t go to due to COVID. To be clear, it truly exhibits you all the locations you probably did go to this yr, however you’ll discover that in comparison with final yr, your timeline might be wanting fairly skimp.
You’ll be able to see within the e-mail what number of cities and locations you’ve visited, and even what kinds of areas they had been. My most visited locations had been tagged buying and meals & drink, however that’s no shock to anybody, proper? One other part compiles how lengthy and the way far you’ve walked and pushed a car for every month of the yr. Most individuals will discover that January and February, and perhaps a few of March are sky excessive, whereas the remainder of the yr simply tanks on the graph thanks to remain at residence orders and work at home tradition.
Highlights of your high cities and areas visited populate the physique of the e-mail too, however that’s nothing particular. What’s actually form of neat is that Google Maps has calculated the share of the world you’ve traveled. Apparently, I’ve solely seen 9% of planet Earth – as if I weren’t depressed sufficient about ready till my 30s to journey, Google’s bought my again with a reminder.
To be truthful, the highest of the e-mail states that the Maps timeline replace is auto-generated and printed they usually acknowledge that COVID-19 has prevented everybody from fulfilling their goals of seeing the world (in kind of phrases). As long as the remainder of this yr is nothing just like the previous 9 days, I’d say there’s hope but – we’ll see, proper?
