Google is bringing its powers of observation into the real world and offering Android and desktop users a stroll down memory lane.

Google’s "Your Timeline" feature shows your every move with zig-zagging lines over a map. Past, present and future meanderings all in one place—super cool or super scary? You decide.

Small business owners—especially those in the service industry—are likely to travel, or have associates traveling, a vast amount every day. This feature would enable you to track employees and make sure they’re where they should be.

But, if you’re on the other side of the coin and see this as an invasion of privacy, you might want to turn off "Places You Go" under the "My Account" settings, and keep your wandering under wraps.
