google maps
Earlier I used to get monthly/annual E-Mails of place I traveled and stats about them. But they have stopped since March now.
I went to https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?pb -> Settings -> Timeline emails. It's already enabled from here. What I am missing then?
The map will still show you were in the area, but it won't call out that stop specifically.
Google+ lets you share your location to specific people or Circles.
Google Support: Share your location
You can control whether this happens through your Google+ Settings under "Location Sharing".
Unfortunately, you'll need your Android device to add and remove people from being able to see your location. (You can remove people/Circles from sharing on the web in your settings, just not add.)
From Google Support:
To set up Location Sharing, complete these steps on your Android device.
- Turn on Location History if you haven't already. This setting provides Location Sharing with recent location information so you can share it with others.
- Download the Google+ app from the Play Store if you haven't already.
- Open the Google+ app
.
- On the top left, touch the menu icon
. A panel will appear on the left.
- Choose Settings.
- Select the account you'd like to update.
- Touch Location sharing. Under "Location Sharing," turn on the switch. The label "On" will appear.
- Share your real-time location with people and circles. (If you don't add anyone, your location won't be shared.)
- To share your exact location: Under "Pinpoint Location," touch Choose people to share with. On the list that pops up, select the people and circles you'd like to share with. Touch Done at the bottom.
- To share your city-level location: Under "City Location," touch Choose people to share with. On the list that pops up, select the people and circles you'd like to share with. Touch Done at the bottom.
It seems that to see your location, someone would need to be using Google+ on their smartphone or the "classic" G+. I don't see location in the new G+ (currently in preview). On the web, that's visible at your profile. With the Android app, "Locations" is one of the options in the main menu where you can see all of the locations shared with you.
A further note: Google removed location sharing from the iOS version of their apps.

I've not been getting them since March either (thinking - maybe I got one).
It's likely that Google decided that it would be better for worldwide morale if we didn't get reminders that we're not travelling at the moment like we used to due to Covid-19 restrictions. But only Google really knows.
