Google Maps Timeline Data to be Stored Locally on Your Device for Privacy

Probably due to an EU regulation
Definitely wasn't due to US "regulation"
Is this US regulation in the room with us right now?
I think it might be also related to the new tracker stuff.
Maps is admittedly a google service I actively use because it really is reliable and up-to-date for navigation, so this is good news.
I love Timeline when I'm traveling. It's great to be able to remember all of the random wandering in foreign cities. I've seriously considered printing and framing the timelines, but it's difficult to crop them so they all match.
At home, I'm far less comfortable with it.
