In the privacy community there are services, programs for private maps use. Some even suggest using the phone without a SIM card (which is quite possible, but you can get into trouble). But I don’t use them, as my geolocation is already tracked by an advanced camera system in my city, by my cell provider via triangulation. What are your thoughts on this? Do you use OpenStreetMap for private navigation?
Location is turned off on my phone.
I’m well aware that “the authorities” can still location track my phone. Not much I can do about that, frankly. And I’m not sure they care much about me. But Scamazon and Screwgle and CrApple and whoever cannot. Which is the point.
Most of the time I figure out my directions before I leave the house. I do use a map app without location services. So it’s pretty much a virtual paper map, which is still useful.
I do also have paper maps, but rarely use them.
they do not care, let’s be real. i also use maps as virtual paper, without GPS enabled. Google does not know where i am because of LineageOS + microG thing.
So does your carrier. And they sell to third parties.
Everyone is so worried about Apple and Google but carriers have been raping you for data and selling it for ages.
The article here recently about Mozilla testing cars was off the chain.
So that means we should give up? That’s like saying your leaving your front door open because something was stolen off your porch
