Track a user's Location History using Google Maps plugin

Hi, I want to create a location history for the app user. I start by requesting location data, and then plotting their location on to the Google Maps plugin visualization (https://devcenter.appery.io/tutorials...).

How do I create a location history (https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?...) that visually displays a path that the user has travelled on a map (by continuously checking and updating their locating, plotting the (lat, long) onto the Google Maps plugin, and storing this data in a visual form.

Track a user's Location History using Google Maps plugin

Hello Ave,

It seems like there are not API for user's Location History. You can look it on google developers website.

Track a user's Location History using Google Maps plugin

How can I get a user's geolocation from the geolocation service every 5 minutes and store this in a database? I see that I can get Lat Lon when the user accepts the geolocation services.

Then, I will figure out how to map these coordinates on a map.
