Where does Google get this info from?
hootaloo:
is this through the review system? it has to be like a phone app or something like google maps doing this? does anyone know im curious/woke
MoltenKitten:
My guess is the same way they get traffic, by going through cell towers
Rally:
They track everybody's location via phone, and then cross reference that data with their geographical data, and determine where everybody is shopping/eating at what time of the day

what program is requesting the location?
Trogtor:
google maps. it sounds creepy but the stuff they do with this info is actually pretty useful. like if you have a daily routine it will notice that wherever you're going to at 8 am every day or whatever has to be your work place so it will give you traffic reports ahead of time in the morning.
