Table of contents:
Surely, as a mobile user, you already know that Google knows your every move. And we are not referring only to your passage through different Internet pages, but also to physical movements, on the street. A large amount of information that they usually use to offer more personalized services and according to the place where you are, according to the company. Now, this also applies to those walks to capture Pokémon, allowing you to record what routes and distances have been traveled hunting these beings.All this through the application Google Maps
This new feature comes directly to Your Timeline A section focused on reviewing all user movements. And it is that the mobile phone automatically collects the displacements of this, leaving a good account of them on the map that can be consulted every day in this section of the application. The difference is that now you can edit each section to record the activity you were doing while you were moving From cycling through your city, to the aforementioned new option Pokémon
All you have to do is access the side menu of Google Maps and enter the section Your timeline Here, the calendar icon in the upper right corner allows you to display all the days of the month, jumping to any time of the week or month to review the displacements.When you find the desired day, you can click on the Edit button to choose the section you want to save as a hunting time Pokémon
But why record your drives?
This new functionality only seems to make real sense for all those users and trainers Pokémon who want to keep records of their games. A good way to know all the distance and displacements you have invested playing Pokémon, or to see the places patrolled in search and capture of these virtual animals But little more than that. In fact, the result of being able to edit and clarify what has been done during one's own scrolling is more useful for increasing Google's knowledge of us.
The good thing is that this feature is not just about catching PokémonFrom Your chronology, any user can edit the information collected by Google to record that certain sections were traveled on foot or by car car And what's more, Google has expanded the list of possibilities by even introducing horseback riding, swimming, sledding, walking through snow, sailing or even skateboarding, among others. Something that allows you to create a true detailed activity log to refer to at any other time.
In short, an accessory but curious function that is already available in Google Maps Of course, in its latest update it renews the icons of some of these activities so that, with a glance, everything is clear on the map. The Google Maps application is available for download completely free of charge through Google Play Store
