public transit and walking increased because I was on holiday. also the displayed hours do not represent the real time I was moving because google sometimes continues recording even if I go to a supermarket, take a break etc

You are fine with google tracking you every waking moment?
Yes, I am aware you can be tracked via other means e.g. triangulation and some such. Still, I turn off as much as I can. I try to get as little privacy invasion as possible.

A lot of people claim that this is a 'feature' and welcome google into their lives. Obviously some don't know the full extent of it all, but remember there's people who willingly broadcast their location to the world via snapchat. Scary stuff

You must have good transit in your area.

Wow! 1517 kilometres in transit! You travel a lot!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

If it's a work commute then it's actually fairly on track. I commute 20 miles on train everyday one way, so 40 each day. That adds up quickly

Compare it to the annual kilometres in a car, plus 10k isn't uncommon at all.

[–] dojan 2 points 1 year ago

It feels like a lot, but I don’t really commute anymore so that might be why.

i can never get that number to be accurate because maps considers buses driving and i have to manually override that

Wait. How do you see this data ?

Open Google maps > tap the letter corresponding to your name (top right) > your timeline > insights

Someone down voted you but you're right. I don't have any insights data because I set some privacy settings to not track.
