Google should drop visits to particularly personal locations, but they should also just ignore everything except the 10-15 places you visit the most. I have to believe they care much more about the fact that I go to the same Trader Joe's every week than that I went to a plumbing supply warehouse one time last year. This would provide a good screen for those sudden gaps in location data, and wouldn't noticeably affect the marketing applications of their precious, precious user profiles.
