So yeah. The thread title.
I always avoid dropping a GPS into my build setups because I see them as being a liability. I can't imagine that the satellite used to provide your positioning data to you couldn keep a record of that data. And we all know how data trails can be an issue should a GM take such an issue. Any idea what the deal is here? Would the GPS company keep such info privileged? Could someone sniff out your GPS code and find you whenever you have the device on? Is it even encrypted? Thoughts? |
