Tl; DR
- Google Maps records your travel data spent towards a personal chronology.
- The calendar has undergone recent changes, while Google goes to storage on devices.
- During the last day, an increasing number of card users noticed that their chronology was no longer accessible.
The last months have introduced a big change in the way we keep a trace of the place where we have used the chronology functionality of Google Maps. After years to link this information to your account easily accessible, last year, Google began to push card users to switch to a chronology on devices, where their movement data is only for this specific phone. As the deadline approaches, users were invited to make decisions concerning the maintenance of their existing history, which was sufficiently inducti against anxiety – which wants to risk losing years of chronology data? Now these fears are breathing once again, because a number of cards users see their chronology disappear.
This seems to be a recent trend, with reports on Reddit to users like ashtray And hard appearing in the last 24 hours in the sub the sub 9TO5GOOGLE. Many commentators are looking for these articles to share their own similar stories.

The affected users describe that they are unable to see any events in their calendar or access the backups recorded at their personal cloud. If you are the kind of card users who like to make a trip in the past and use these old chronology data to help, the thought of traveling years that suddenly disappears seems devastating.
The good news, if you can call it, is that it is not at all clear that one of these chronology data is really destroyed, and it is quite possible that what we are dealing with here is more an interfering problem with the ability of users to access it. It is difficult to diagnose definitively from these circumstantial reports, but at least some people who describe their recently on the run have also seen it reappear.
We have not observed this bug on our own devices, so anyway, it does not seem to have an impact on all card users as well. We contacted Google in the hope of illuminating what is going on here, and perhaps even learning if there is a path to the restoration of missing deadlines. We will update you with everything we can learn.
