About the Location History card
The Location Histor y card appears once a 
month. It provides a ver y rough approxima ­
tion of how far you’ve walked or cycled dur ­
ing that month compared to the previous 
one. These estimates are based on occa ­
sional samples of the accelerometer in your

movements involved in walking or cycling.
This information isn’t available unless you’ve 
turned on location reporting and history for 
at least one of your Android devices. If you’ve 
turned these on for more than one device, 
the location histor y card reflects the one you 
used most often that month.

access, repor ting, & histor y.”
