Google is working on Incognito Mode for Maps

Google is currently testing an Incognito Mode for its Maps navigation app, XDA Developers reports.

The feature was added in the latest update for the Android version of the Maps Preview app and is available in closed beta to testers who are part of the Google Maps preview group.

Why?

Sometimes people share accounts and then you go browse the Maps timeline because Google keeps pestering you with emails and then you're wondering what the f**k was your girlfriend doing on 7 June in Cintsa.

Why?

So that users can be fooled into believing Google doesn't track their every move, thereby hoping to relieve growing pressure from regulators and consumer groups.
