Where was I on this day? Look up any date in your Google Maps Timeline

Last updated 15 November 2026

Pick a date and see that day from your Google Maps Timeline: where you were, with times, and the journeys in between. Or type a place and see every time you were there. On a computer, nothing uploaded.

How to look up a date

Export your Timeline from your phone (an old Takeout zip goes further back).
Drop it on thereiwent.com, or click Choose file.
Under the map, in Where was I on…?, pick the date. The arrows step a day back or forward.

A panel headed Where was I on, with the date set to 6 June 2025 and a list for that day: at home in the Netherlands until the morning, a train journey from Amsterdam to Berlin, then stays near Berlin with walks in between, each with its times — One day from the sample data: home in Amsterdam, the train to Berlin, the afternoon there.

What you see for a day

Every stay, with times ("until 08:08" began the day before; "all day" means you didn't move).
Every journey, with how you travelled and how far.
The countries you were in, in order. Times are local to where you were.
Show this day on the map for its routes.

No data that day? It offers the nearest days that have some.

Or look up a place: "When was I in…?"

Type a city, a country or (with older Takeout files) a place name: you get every stay with its dates and the total days, and can go through any stay day by day.

The same panel with Berlin typed in the place field, and a result for Berlin, Germany giving the number of days, the dates of the stay, and links Day by day and On the map — Searching for a place in the sample data: every stay, with its dates.

Good to know

Handy for expense claims, timesheets, forms that ask for dates (see also the trips abroad list), and remembering where a photo was taken.
It searches everything you loaded, including several phones or an old Takeout. Merging.
Only as good as the recording: short stops can be missing. Why days go missing.
Whole history as a table: download the spreadsheet.

Questions

Can't Google Maps show me this?: Only on your phone. Timeline no longer opens on a computer, and Google Maps can't search by place across several files.
How far back does it go?: As far as your files do. With auto-delete on, a phone may keep only a few months; an old Takeout zip adds earlier years.
Why does it say "Near Utrecht" and not the shop I was in?: Phone exports have coordinates, not names, and looking them up would mean sending your locations to Google. So it names the nearest town.
