Will you agree to save the history of your movement?

Question

satellite navigation

Interested in the following question:
Let there be a program that tracks your entire path from day to day. Will you agree to save locally, on your phone, the data of the route of your movement, for further processing and remote display, on the server, of various information along this route? Data is stored on the server only at the time of processing and then deleted instantly.

Answer 1

It will be difficult for me to check if the data is really only stored locally.
But I don’t have any particular fears and complexes that someone will theoretically be able to see my routes. In addition, now a lot of programs track my position and leak information about it, these are navigators and geo-services ...
So I don’t see any problems, the main thing is that the program benefits me.
Well, if I suddenly need to switch to secrecy mode, then the program can always be removed from the phone for a while.

Answer 2

I believe that the option to load an area (for example, a city) is more optimal. Since real movements (everyday) occur along the same routes (for example, within the city).
As for the output of information, then again: What kind of information? I'm more than sure the phone itself can easily calculate such data with information in the local database.

Answer 3

actually an interesting idea, I would agree. but I would really like a checkmark, “store data for X hours / days” and a button “clear history now”. though I have little idea how the program will collect movement data in the background. or the battery will kill in a matter of hours, or the data will be irrelevant

Answer 4

This application should offer me something. For example, I play ingress, which analyzes my movements, perhaps even more severely. I use sports trackers from time to time without reading the user agreement (certainly not 24/7).

Answer 5

I don't know, I've never been paranoid about it. In all the products of the same Google, I leave the checkbox “send information about my location” because if someone really needs it, then there are a bunch of other ways to get this information.

Answer 6

Just not in this country.

Answer 7

I regularly check in to 4sq, twitter/facebook also knows my geo-location, but displays it accurate to the city, so I generally don't care.
I'm just interested in the very idea of ​​the program, and, possibly, assistance in some aspects of its creation (I know a little C #, WPF, Asp.Net, I have a desire to learn Windows Phone SDK)

Answer 8

Precisely because there are already enough services watching us, I will refuse! But the idea of ​​the program is interesting. What is this all for?
