  FWIW, I (in The Netherlands) haven't received any such emails and
still get my 'Frank, here's your new Timeline update' emails (with
subject "Frank, your <month> update", etc.. Where "etc." means the
popups on you phone to explore your timeline, visited places, etc..

  BTW, I'm confused about the wording of:

  "your Timeline on Google Maps"!? My Timeline isn't 'on' Google Maps.

  I can access Timeline *from* the Google Maps app by going to 'Manage
your Google Account', but that doesn't make it *on* Google Maps, it's
part of my Google services, which I *can* - but do not have to - access
from my Google *Account*, which I *can* - but do not have to - access
from the Google Maps app.

  Same with the Timeline website, that's
<https://timeline.google.com/maps/timeline>
*not*
<https://www.google.com/maps>

  So maybe the fuss is only if you use "your Timeline on Google Maps",
whatever that may mean.
