This is actually something I use very frequently, and wish had more data/functionality. It's insane to be able to answer the question of "where did I go" for yesterday[1] (we've all had bouts of bad short term memory), two weeks ago[2], or a year ago[3].
I've been using this feature for so long I assume it's opt-in (I don't remember), but I fully recommend it to anyone that has an inkling of a thought that they _might_ want it later, since you can always delete[4] your location history if you decide you don't.
It's also really cool if you go on a lot of trips or take a lot of photos, because it'll map them out in a timeline view of where/when you took them throughout the day[5].
