Google Location History (GLH) mobility dataset

<p>This is a GPS dataset acquired from Google.</p> <p>Google tracks the user&rsquo;s device location through Google Maps, which also works on Android devices, the iPhone, and the web.&nbsp;<br>It&rsquo;s possible to see the Timeline from the user&rsquo;s settings in the Google Maps app on Android or directly from the Google Timeline Website.&nbsp;<br>It has detailed information such as when an individual is walking, driving, and flying.&nbsp;<br>Such functionality of tracking can be enabled or disabled on demand by the user directly from the smartphone or via the website.&nbsp;<br>Google has a Take Out&nbsp;service where the users can download all their data or select from the Google products they use the data they want to download.&nbsp;<br>The dataset contains 120,847 instances from a period of 9 months or 253 unique days from February 2019 to October 2019 from a single user.&nbsp;<br>The dataset comprises a pair of (latitude, and longitude), and a timestamp.&nbsp;<br>All the data was delivered in a single CSV file.&nbsp;<br>As the locations of this dataset are well known by the researchers, this dataset will be used as ground truth in many mobility studies.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Please cite the following papers in order to use the datasets:</p> <p>T.
