That's not really true... the iphone tracking happens regardless of location settings or applications.

The location controls do not affect it at all.




The latest entry in any of the tables on my phone (and I've been out of my usual locations for a while now) (CellLocation, WifiLocation) are from almost 4 days ago, which is the last time that I used Google Maps to get directions to chines buffet I was meeting a co-worker at.

If this was being tracked even when using non-location services wouldn't that be updated every time I pass by a new cell tower? Wouldn't it know about the trip I made with a co-worker to a town I've never been to before?

Can you point me where in the tables there is data (based on timestamps) that is updated more often and kept around?
