We live surrounded by sensors, and even carry some with us, in the guise of smartphones, smartwatches and other wearables. With their help, it is easy to gather information about ourselves and our activities. This will help us better understand our lives, reminisce about past moments, lead to self-reflection and behaviour change, or even as our legacy. However, while collecting that data is easy, making sense of it is still a challenge. This can be made possible by using Information Visualization (InfoVis), to help find meaningful patterns in all that data. We will present the latest results of our current research regarding the visualization of geo-referenced personal data, including the related problems of visualization customization, and visualization of Big Data in general.
