Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks]

  Because of various privacy legislation, and people not wanting Google to track them as much, they stopped syncing the data to Google servers. It’s entirely local now. You can enable encrypted backups and back up the data, however you can really only have the data on one device now, and the web version is gone.

  It’s no longer accessible from a desktop, only from the Google Maps app.

  What else could that possibly mean?
