like i need to tell google more about me
you can request your data from Google (not sure if there's an api), and use that data to make you own map
Location data is one of the things that you can export through Google takeout , I believe — though I'm not sure what format that would come in.
I don't imagine it would be too hard for a dedicated nerd who is procrastinating other work to write a thing to parse that data and view it in a map based on something more open, like Openstreetmaps.
i know you can get the data through Google takout. but if there's an api, it would be more user friendly and you could make an app
Doesn’t need to be made by Google. It could be self hosted. Be the change you want to see in the world 😉
it IS self-hosted. Look up Dawarich.
