In this post I’m only focussing on location history but you can grab more if you like. You can visit that link and request your Google data. Step 1: Request your dataĭownload your data from Google. Since version 10.1 of Tableau, the addition of son support has meant that there is a world of data now readily available to analyse in minutes using tableau.
This blog post will summarise the steps you need to take and what you need to do in Tableau. In the talk I showed in 5 minutes how you could get hold of the location data that Google has in a JSON format and then very quickly visualise it in Tableau. On the 19th June I gave a short talk on the Quantified Self and the iterative process by which I explore the data I collect and improve the way in which I handle it. In case you missed post #1 check it out here, however this post is about Google location history.
