Script not compatible with locally stored timeline #14

Description

@ralfbergs

As of a recent change performed by Google (a couple of months ago), the timeline is no longer stored centrally within Google Maps, but locally on a device (if enabled).

See this post for more details.

The locally-stored timeline can also be exported as a JSON file, but the structure is quite different from the one that this script can parse so far. Please find below a short sample extract:

{

        }

    },

      }
    },
    {

          "time": "2011-06-17T09:42:00.000+02:00"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "startTime": "2011-06-17T10:00:00.000+02:00",
      "endTime": "2011-06-17T12:00:00.000+02:00",
      "timelinePath": [
        {
          "point": "40.778527°, 2.058678°",
          "time": "2011-06-17T10:20:00.000+02:00"
        },
        {
          "point": "40.778527°, 2.058678°",
          "time": "2011-06-17T10:24:00.000+02:00"
        },
        {
          "point": "40.778527°, 2.058678°",
          "time": "2011-06-17T10:29:00.000+02:00"
        },

It would be great if the script could be adapted to the new format.
