Google Maps•3/19/2025
Sad to hear this .. i wish that Google essentially sort this in the next release etc to restore the data else its a big time mess by such a giant that will shake the confidence of the cloud users around the globe .. its is looking really very bad position here.

So far here is what i have found to ensure if your data is in your device or not and how to put it on the servers again or backup to the local device copy ( Json format ) 

Dont got into maps

Click Settings --> Location --> Location services -->Timeline --> Select the account you used for keeping the timeline 

it will open the timeline and there you can see if your  "View your timeline" option displays thousands of visits and routes saved on this device since MMM, dd, YYYY ( it could read Feb , 12 , 2012) that means you are in business. 

On same menu 
you can find Export Timeline Data to get the complete JSON ( not need to go to take out ) 

NOTE :  ONLY CLICK ON BACKUP WHEN YOU SEE THAT ITS SHOWING YOUR DECADES OF DATA ELSE IT WILL WRITE THE BLANK COPY TO SERVER... 

If you want to back up click on the Back up and it will create a fresh backup file on the servers  , this is the exact same file you see when you click on the maps application --> timeline --> small cloud on the right top and it shows you the backed up files.

Learned my lesson ... No more cloud , Never again 
Bye Google  cloud never gonna pay or recommend ..The companies and businesses who are still trusting after this disaster good luck to them its a breach of integrity and trust 

Atleast give us our data back its our PII info should not be deleted without giving us a chance to atleast download it , i can then use any other analytic tool to view my timelines but Google took the last chance without giving us the chance to backup locally ...

If they can do this to this free small service then dont expect much same can happen next to Gmail or G drive or Google photos ... without notice no back up just plain silence and deletion of decades of memories....

For me the Date is still Jun 2025 , but i am missing 13 years of location time line data 
how about that now ?? do you still insist its not an issue but user mistake ... ?? come on I am in IT field and was saving my timeline data since google started this.. 

FIX IT ....! its not a user issue its a GOOGLE issue solve your mess.. .

Crearly a Crapy decision from Google to save their chrome books from Dying but soon they will for sure 
Because more Vendors are coming with Mobile to Desktop experience 

Check Motorolla , Ready for 
Samsung Dex 
If samsung has started doing it its a deal grabber for us but for GOolge its a deal breaker for sure 

I have recently used the samsung dex and man i was amazed , it was hardly any far from windows games were playing so smoothly as i used to play on console . 

I mean if i dont have the USB c Out in my phone thats not my phone :)
