Track and access personal location history reliably

The ask

Users need a way to maintain a detailed personal history of places visited, including modes of transport like driving, walking, and flying. They want to be able to review their travel patterns for specific days and see past visits to particular locations. The existing tools for this purpose frequently suffer from significant performance problems, such as freezing or becoming unresponsive during use. This makes accessing and reviewing historical data frustrating and unreliable. There are also challenges with data management, specifically concerning the transfer of old location data when moving to a new device. Users fear losing their extensive historical records due to encryption or other migration issues. A robust alternative is needed that provides consistent access to location data, ensuring its utility. The utility of having this data outweighs general privacy concerns for these users.
