Last words on Google Mobile Location History

To tautologize in brief, I would say that this feature would work best when your location and internet is ON. Then Google will be able to detect your accurate location and will help you assist in future. Always take care of that your location history is not paused. Otherwise, Google will not save your places. Another thing that you must keep in your mind is that the only destinations that you have visited, will be saved. Incompleted trips will not be saved as location history. Good luck and do not forget to give a suggestion. As long as, this feature is concerned, Saving the location could be detrimental or beneficial at the same time. It depends upon who is using it. Therefore, you must always make sure that at what places you want to be tracked. Any suggestions or questions would be appreciated. Good luck and thanks.
