The lost Google Maps Timeline history is finally back, but not for everyone

The Timeline section in Google Maps gives you a snapshot of the places you've visited over the years. Naturally, many Maps users have years of Timeline data attached to their accounts. But people were in for a shock earlier this month as they found years of Timeline data disappearing into the void. It was speculated at the time that this may have been a bug, and Google has now acknowledged the entire fiasco in an email to affected users. But it's not all good news.
