In this thread we are going to learn.
How to get a person's approximate location!

Using gmail! cause gmail's are widely used!

In this case i'm using a random gmail that i got form a data breach!

So, we are using. Google Accounts and ID Administration (GAIA) id !. For our OSINT!

What is a GAIA ID?
The Google Search Appliance's primary verified ID for any particular logged-in user needs to match
Google Accounts and ID Administration (GAIA) ID, which are created by the Google Apps domain administrator.

We need to get the (GAIAID) of the user. By using Google chat! also known as google hangouts! 

Open (hangouts.google.com) in Firefox (recommended)

Step by step instruction's:

New chat > Enter the gmail id > Start chat.

Open Inspect(Q) Element > Network > Refresh the page > Search GetAssistiveFeatures > Response > Copy the GAIAid form JSON file!

Enter the url:

www . google . com/maps/contrib/{User_GAIAid}

By seeing this reviews. We are concluding that the person is living in the United Arab Emirates(UAE),Abu Dhabi and somemore personal information!
