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?

  • If I don’t want to be located, I know how not to be.

    But if I’m in my home, expected to be in my home, belong in my home and I’m doing home stuff, I’m not entirely that caring about who knows I am. I also don’t think it’s that big a deal if the government knows I’m in a bookstore, or work.

    But yeah, if I was hiding a body, I’d probably take my shitbox Acura that’s disconnected from everything but the ground, and I’d leave my phone at home, tied to my cat with string so it looks like I’m cleaning.
