Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for automatically generating and updating a list of previously visited locations that are popular to a user. The method includes receiving a data point belonging to a series of data points generated from periodically sampling a position of an electronic device, automatically determining if the data point represents a destination of the electronic device based upon metadata of the data point, and automatically updating a visited locations list based upon the data point, the visited locations list including an entry associated with a previously visited location of the electronic device, wherein the data point is combined with the entry when the position associated with the data point and the previously visited location are correlated.
