Google Timeline Visualizer: from location export to travel video
A browser-based tool turns exported Google Timeline data into customizable travel videos and overview images.
- For
- Google Maps Timeline users making trip recaps
- Worth noticing
- The sample is explicitly fictional, and route lines connect recorded locations rather than claiming to reproduce exact roads.
Field notes
The workspace accepts a Google Timeline JSON export or saved project, with a 50 MB input cap; users set date ranges, aspect ratio, map style, camera behavior, resolution, frame rate, and optional audio before rendering. It also offers a 35-point Paris–Marseille sample described as fictional and downloadable sample JSON. The page warns that route lines connect recorded locations rather than reconstructing exact roads, and includes controls to hide points near journey endpoints.
