That's a good point. I don't know of a location history available in OM that tracks you all the time. Yeah I haven't totally moved away from GM myself.
If you want to track yourself you can open the hamburger menu and turn on "Record Track". This will keep sampling your gps in the background and showing breadcrumbs of where you have been. Then if you save it, the breadcrumbs will turn into a solid line that will remain on your map. Other than seeing where you were, you can't see what time you were at each place within OM. If I care to see time history I export the track as a .gpx file and read it with other software. For hiking I use camptocamp.org.
I assume OM's tracking will waste more battery than GM's location history which isn't as accurate but serves different purposes.
