Facebook – How to Remove Maps from Timeline

facebookfacebook-timeline

The Maps feature on Facebook Timeline is nice, though recently I have established that I am location paranoid and wouldn't like people seeing all the places I have been to, so I want to disable and/or remove it entirely from view on my Timeline.

As you can see from the first image, I have ~700 spots tagged as Places, ideally I don't want to delete this metadata, but if that's what it takes to remove Maps, sure I can take the sacrifice. At best I just want to disable the Maps tile, no need for people to map out where I am like Carmen Sandiego.

I don't see an option under Facebook Apps or within privacy settings to remove the Maps, so how can I can disable Maps from Facebook Timeline? Is it also possible to remove the Maps altogether?
