# Google Maps Location History Parser

The included script will parse the extracted JSON data from Google Maps' Location History, and output a list of unique lat/long coordinates in a `.txt` file for your own use.

Older tutorials concerning Google Latitude, and Google Maps' Timeline would require raw extraction, or looping through exporting KML files, etc. Nowadays, [Google Takeout](https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout) supports exporting one's Location History easily.

## Steps to export data

1. Visit [Google Takeout](https://takeout.google.com/settings/takeout).

2. Click **Select None** at the top of the list to deselect all other options.

3. Navigate down to **Location History** and select it. Leave the default export at JSON.

4. Click **Next**, and choose your File Type, Archive Size, and Delivery Method.

5. Once the file is downloaded and unarchived, proceed to the next steps.

## Parse your export data

1. Download `Parse Google Location History.py` and place the script in the same directory as your `Location History.json` export.

2. Run the script from your chosen command line (`python Parse Google Location History.py`).

## Notes

There's an additional function included for converting the Lat/Long coordinates in E7 format to decimal. It's not made use of in the script, but it may be helpful to any interested.
