I make a private travel video for my family every year, and I usually like to end it with a map showing everywhere we went.

The problem was that I couldn’t find a simple Android app that could turn exported Google Timeline data into the kind of visual I wanted - minimal black maps, clean white routes, glowing heatmaps and animated travel paths.

So I built one myself: Location History Explorer.

It lets you import your exported Timeline data, explore it as routes, points and heatmaps, filter by date and time, switch between different visual styles, and create animated map stories or videos.

The imported location history is processed locally on the device. There’s no account, no ads, and the app doesn’t need access to your current location.

I’m currently preparing the Play Store release and running a closed beta. I’d love to know whether other people would use something like this, and whether anyone would be interested in testing it on Android.
