Google moved Maps Timeline to on-device storage and retired the web view. If you exported your data — or want to rebuild your history from photos — these free tools pick up where Timeline left off. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Timeline.json file with every visit and path Google kept on the device.Drop the file in and get a world map of the countries you've visited, with first and last visit dates. Old Google Takeout Records.json files work too. 100% in-browser — you can switch off Wi-Fi first if you like.
Timeline only knows the years you used Google Maps. Your photo library remembers the rest: this tool reads the GPS coordinates stored in your photos and rebuilds trips from years before any app was installed — again, entirely on your device.

Driftlog does the same job as a private, on-device travel log: it records the countries and cities you pass through with no check-ins — no account, no server, no ads, no subscription.
