Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not a problem

Describe the solution you'd like
I always wanted a GeoGuessr-like game, but for my own personal location history that I get from Google. It would be a nice test to see how well I remember the places I have been to.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If I understand correctly, I can just create GeoJSONs randomly from my location history and then import them as a map?

Hello @nambrot
You are right.
You should download location history from https://takeout.google.com/ and create a GeoJSON file.

Map documentation is available here : https://geoguess.games/guide/dev/maps.html

Thanks I just tried it out and for anyone interested in doing this, one challenge I found is that I end up with a lot of points of me driving to the middle of nowhere which is not as interesting :)

I forked from https://github.com/Scarygami/location-history-json-converter to add a geojson output and tried to dedup by rounding the coordinates, and it worked ok. I think ideally someone should really process the semantic locations that Google provides instead of the raw locations
