Statistics

• Analyze your travel history: number of countries/cities visited, distance traveled, and time spent, broken down by year and month.

Insights

• Get insights about your location history, like "Your most visited place is home, with 120 visits", or "You spent 30 days in Paris in 2024".

Days in country

• See how many days you've spent in each country. Useful for tax residency purposes or just to see where you spend most of your time.
