Seems hopelessly inaccurate to me. Just tried it out and anyone who wanted to know where I had actually been would be none the wiser after using this data. The vast majority of what is reported is junk.

Actually, Pete Warden, who co-discovered this and compiled the viewer program said that they haven’t been able to find a similar file on android, and Microsoft has come forward and said that while they store location data it is deleted daily.

This really is an inexcusable breach of privacy, and has a lot of potential to be exploited by third parties. It needs to be fixed by apple asap. I personally am completely shocked and disillusioned knowing ive been carrying around a tracking bug for almost a year.

I don’t understand why you would defend this, its really disturbing.

It’s the fact that this wasn’t opt-in and that no one even knew it was happening. There may be good reason to collect this data but it shouldn’t be stored indefinitely, it shouldn’t be easily accessible and it should be possible to disable it entirely.

Isn’t this basically what 4square and Facebook are? They track you all over the place too, but it’s opt-in so nobody seems to mind… makes you think.

All phones do this, this is just the first time it’s been extracted and graphed. The only reason it’s news is its an Apple product.

So far i haven’t found this info on my win laptop yet. But I’m sure it’s somewhere there too.
I hope someone will port this to win32 soon.

Also, I’m wondering if someone (google?) will pick this up so that you can import the data into latitude.

Whoa! This app nailed my location and movements with incredible accuracy, it basically shows my life for the past 2 years and I think it pieced together data from both my old iPhone and new iPhone. It missed nothing of mine, if it missed your trip that is weird, maybe you had AirPlane mode turned on.

PS: I think the app requires a 64 bit Mac to run because I tried it on my old core solo Mac and it didn’t work.
