I have a question on how google analytics geography works particularly for travelling users. For example, if I am a user who is in the city of Sunnyvale and I open an app, Google analytics at a User id level will say number of Users = 1 and location of User = Sunnyvale. I then drive to San Francisco and open the same app. Google Analytics will say , Users =1 (since this is at a user id level) and will say San Francisco = 1.
The question is what happened to the Sunnyvale count? Does that remain as 1 ? Does it change to 0? Is there double counting that takes place?
Please help.
It remains 1. In GA оne user can have different locations.

In my Google Analytics account, the Users count is 0 while Active Users count is 1.
Why is the active user is not being identified as Unique User in Google Analytics?
I just checked after 21 hours of Account creation and still the User count is 0 while in graph it is one for yesterday data.
Here is attachment
If you look carefully you will see that the Users are set to 'Last 7 days' (which does not include today) while the Active User count is real-time. You can tweak the time period settings, but Users will never keep up with Active Users anyway because GA is always a bit behind re everything that isn't real-time.
I have a question regarding sessions attribution in Google Analytics.
Imagine I am in New York and it's 9.00pm on 01/01/2018 and I am visiting "www.amazon.fr" and it's therefore 3.00am on 02/01/2018 in France. Will my session belong to the "01/01/2018" data or to the "02/01/2018" data ?
Thank you.
The time reported in GA is relative to the timezone set in the view settings. In your case, assuming your view is set to France time, it will be of the next day 3am.
I have 2 google analytics accounts for 2 subdomains (www-exemple.com and s.exemple.com)
Users have to go through www-exemple to get to s.exemple
My question is :
How can i keep track of the campaigns in my 2 GA accounts.
If a user came to 'www-exemple' with a 'BLABLABLA' campaign, how can i know if he continued his navigation to 's.exemple' and get the same 'BLABLABLA' campaign on my second GA account
The purpose is to know if a campaign managed to make a user go to 'www-exemple' and then to 's.exemple'
Thx !
I visited two relatives in two distant cites, each family member in each location logged into my WordPress blog with their computers and spent over 10 minutes navigating through most of the pages of my blog.
The next day, back home, I checked the GA Geo Location report, which was approximately 15 hours later, and neither city showed up in the Geo Location Primary Dimension: City report.
Does it take longer than 24 hours for their visits to show up in GA, or am I doing something wrong?
I am worried that not all visits to my blog are being recorded by GA.
It's possible that the person was already logged into a Google account which could shield their location. It's also possible that you might need to change the date at which you are viewing the analytics information.

Not all visits get assigned to a city. Depending on where your visits are coming from, a significant percentage may show up as (not set). I'm not sure what determines whether or not GA can assign a city, but have noticed that some are missing. Here is an example, showing that 11 out of 160 visits on one day to my account were (not set).
The situation is even worse with the "Metro" dimension, as you can see below.
I am trying to get a list of nearby airports, given a certain location.
You can do this through the google places api and using types=airport.
The problem is that Google Places is self-policing so any tom, dick and harry can call themselves an airport.
Is there any way to determine whether an airport is real - through google maps?
I know I could double check against an airports database but then I'd be best just using an external database and only use google maps to plot their locations!!
thanks
Geonames will give you airports eg. a search centred on Central Park New York with a radius of 25 kms.
http://api.geonames.org/findNearby?lat=40.776902&lng=-73.968887&fcode=AIRP&radius=25&maxRows=100&username=xxxxx`.
You will need to open a (free) Geonames account to make it work.
Such a search would be in your "external database" category but as far as I know, the entries are not self-certified, so are possibly more reliable than Google's from what you say.
To verify Google results against Geonames results would need to develop and code your own comparison algorithm.
