Recording

GPS accuracy needed

iPhone pauses web apps when you switch away or lock the screen, so Been Here only records while it is open. To fill in the gaps, turn on Timeline in Google Maps and import it below now and then.

Import past trips

Files can be GPX or KML tracks, GeoJSON, a Google Maps Timeline export, or a Been Here backup. Photos clear the fog where they were taken.

Export your Google Maps Timeline
  1. In Google Maps, tap your profile picture, then Settings.
  2. Tap Personal content, then Export Timeline data.
  3. Save the file to Files, then tap Import files here and pick it.
Photos come in without a location

Your iPhone can remove the location when you pick photos in a web app. Save the photos to the Files app first, then use Import files and pick them from there.

Backup

You have not saved a backup yet.

Your map is stored only on this iPhone. Save a backup to Files or iCloud Drive now and then. To restore, use Import files and pick the backup.

Your data
