I 've been sharing my location on Android since I got my first android phone in 2010

I've been sharing my location on Android since I got my first android phone in 2010. It's is a really great feature to go to the Location History website and look at all the places you've been months or years back.

 

But, a month ago, I got an additional device, a Nexus 7. Now, when I go to my location history, I find it is all over the place. Since I leave my tablet at home, the two devices are reporting the history and Google just assumes that I am travelling between my current location and my home. In fact, the number of timestamps that I see in the history has gone up significantly during the times that I was away from home

 

I thought I was pretty careful about not checking the "Report location from this device" option on the nexus 7, but likely missed it out when I sideloaded 4.4 on the device.

 

I can go to the individual locations and delete them one by one, but I wish there was a way that I could tell Google to delete all reported locations from 'x' device for 'y' date range

Try this. Go into Settings --> Location --> Google Location Reporting --> Disable Location Reporting.

 

I just did this on my Nexus 7 as it was still enabled. Google Now seems to still work. I'll give it some time to make sure, but I think this mimics what was done before.
