In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
public transit and walking increased because I was on holiday. also the displayed hours do not represent the real time I was moving because google sometimes continues recording even if I go to a supermarket, take a break etc
You are fine with google tracking you every waking moment?
Yes, I am aware you can be tracked via other means e.g. triangulation and some such. Still, I turn off as much as I can. I try to get as little privacy invasion as possible.
A lot of people claim that this is a 'feature' and welcome google into their lives. Obviously some don't know the full extent of it all, but remember there's people who willingly broadcast their location to the world via snapchat. Scary stuff
You must have good transit in your area.
i can never get that number to be accurate because maps considers buses driving and i have to manually override that
Wow! 1517 kilometres in transit! You travel a lot!
If it's a work commute then it's actually fairly on track. I commute 20 miles on train everyday one way, so 40 each day. That adds up quickly
Compare it to the annual kilometres in a car, plus 10k isn't uncommon at all.
It feels like a lot, but I don’t really commute anymore so that might be why.
Wait. How do you see this data ?
Open Google maps > tap the letter corresponding to your name (top right) > your timeline > insights
Turn on google tracking
Someone down voted you but you're right. I don't have any insights data because I set some privacy settings to not track.
