The location history setting is for Timeline, a feature that lives inside Google Maps app. I use Timeline often and find it useful. I hope all the FUD you people are spreading about it does not force Google to get rid of the Timeline feature. Maybe in the future they'll include a lengthy explanation next to that switch for the fearful among us.

I'm glad you like and want to use this functionality. I don't. Hopefully we can coexist simply by my turning off my location services and history.
It would help if Google wouldn't ask me to review the coffee just in front of my current bus stop.
