Extracting location info from Google Maps in Android Phone

Dear all,

I'm relatively a novice in Android and I'm interested to learn more about it. Have started a small project experimenting with the extraction of location info from apps like Google Maps in Android Mobile Phones.

Any idea whether it is technically possible, say using ADB to interact with the phone and through which, extract past location info that the user had used Google Maps to plot for a destination. Basically having the ability to piece together where an user had gone to, if he/she had used Google Maps before.

If possible, how so? Any suggestions/directions will be appreciated and thanks!
