The recent proliferation of GPS-enabled devices allowed many location-based services to flourish, thus producing an unprecedent wealth of location-based repositories. Using Kernel Density Estimation, we show that this data can be analyzed to uncover daily routines and interesting schemes in the use of public spaces. This kind of analysis allows to highlight human-centered geographies that can support a wide range of applications ranging from location-based services to urban planning.
