The accuracy of location services in apps is CONCERNING

The location accuracy of location services in apps. It can detect the location of your cell phone with astounding accuracy. Not only just the street address I'm on, but the exact location of the building I'm in!

Google earth also has views of the inside of some buildings...if find a picture of the inside of my apartment using the app I'll sue Google.

 

Who needs microchips in us? Give us a cellphone!

Very concerning. I agree.

 

You can turn that off you know. Just sayin'.

 

I think the only places Google maps have pictures of the inside of are historical buildings.

I am glad the GPS is working or people would get lost.
I try to avoid apps that request my location.
That or turn the function off.

 

GPSrs work.

I sold my soul to Ingress.
Resist.

 

There are like a dozen apps that'll let you manage permissions.

When you turn your gps on to apps, yeah, they'll get pretty close.

 

Last fall I rescued a few kids that nearly died, and 911 couldn't find me even though I had my GPS function turned on. So I'm like "WTF is this worth, man?" It's just garbage.

 

I like the feature with the GPS hiking and geographical apps. I use coordinates a lot. For job sites too.

 

Just remember to turn it off when your doing something against the law and you will be fine.

 

So modern smart phones have a gps chip built into them. You can turn off the permissions to apps, but as the smart phone OS is the slave partition, not only can you not turn off your gps, even with a rooted phone...

But you know that scene in movies where they take the battery out of their cell phones? Totally won't work. There's a seperate battery inside your phone which powers the gps and broadcom radio. You would have to keep your phone in a microwave, or physically open your phone and remove the gps.

 

placing in a common microwave ovens wont shield gps .. if you have 2 phones put one in and call it. yule see..

How?

 

Guess I don't have that app, if you have to pay for it, hopefully....I only use my cell for emergencies. Few people have the number....and then they wonder why people get almost paranoid.....with every piss one takes being watched. lol

 

now they can come and kill you whenever

 

They would have to get through my cop room mate first....and the cop afew doors down who keeps an eye...Good luck.

 

umm, yeah - I am more worried about cops than any other people, at least the average person after me does not have a weapon and the training to use it - nor has the average person proven to me to be as hateful to me.

 

actually theres an RFID chip in all your credit cards too. so in case they ever need to track you down and you dont have a cell phone...

 

is this true even if you keep your cards in one of those foil sleeves so they can't be read?

 

Really? Where did you learn this?
