If you have access to a computer that is already logged in to Google, you can open Google Location History, it will not ask you to log in again. Click on “TODAY”. The data may be old or inaccurate. It is better to use Android Device Manager if you know the password and the device is still online. If you don’t know the password or the device is offline, your best chance is Google Location History.
