The data source is the .JSON file from my Google Timeline. Rstudio was used to create this map.

I made a tutorial to create your own here

EDIT: As many people have pointed out, this map is not necessarily accurate. The levels were chosen on the basis of what looked most aestetically pleasing over ~35 different manipulations. You can see a more "accurate" heat map of my time on campus here.

Also, by the way, I just finished my master's degree from the University of Texas and would love to work for your company. I am good with data, water, energy, and sustainability. PM me or check out my resume on my website.

This is amazing. I wonder if mine would show anything other than a large dot at home and a large dot at work.

Wow! This is cool! You can certainly see the heaviest dots around UT. It seems like I can tell you're a UT student (of course, that's obvious from the username) who most likely owns a car (judging by the highway dots), likes concerts (judging by the heavy red river dots), and lives and commutes near the north most part of the 653 bus route.

On second thought, it might be creepy knowing that if people had access to this data, they could figure all this out without ever meeting you...
