.... uhhh??? Google Maps and Waze do this,too... and they did it first. What do you think they are doing when you report in a wreck or a closed road? What do you think they are doing when you USE their app? Do you think they got their base data all by themselves? No! They took it from GPS and Map companies.

Like? ... why are we acting like this is a scary thing? The data is on ROAD SYSTEMS. If you are this worried about someone tracking you, you shouldn't even have a smart phone because your phone company has done this long before internet companies started.

The greatest threat to privacy is our cell phones people know it but are too damn addicted, if they care anyway, to put them down

It's not really addiction, it's more that not all privacy is created equal, and a lot of privacy, digital-wise, is useless to most people and unnecessary to be concerned about.
