I've just had a look at my so called 'location tracking'. I was hoping it might be more interesting than this; that I'd be able to see a history of where I've been over the past 2 years. But alas not.
Apparently, unless my phone has been sneaking off by itself while I sleep, I've been to towns and cities I've never in my life been to. And also, bizarrely, I've never been anywhere near my house. Or work. Or my girlfriend's house. Or my parents' house. ![]() I don't know exactly what this thing is supposed to be for, but it sure as hell isn't for tracking my location. Another sensationalist story blown out of proportion? Surely not! ![]() So not quite sure why yours is like that, but to say its another story blown out the water is silly. |

Just had a look at this out of curiosity. Mine is pretty accurate. I'd forgotten how much of the UK my job takes me to!
Doesn't seem to have logged anything from America when I had location services turned off though. EDIT: Just having a closer look, and it doesn't seem particularly accurate within towns and cities. I tried to choose places I've been to only once, and sometimes the location data is showing up ten miles from where I've actually been. That said, the overall picture clearly shows where I've been in general. |

iOS 4.3.3 has been released to stop this location database on the IPhone keeping the data for so long also the data is no longer backed up via ITunes like with earlier versions of iOS 4.

Think I will skip this, caching cell tower location doesn't really bother me.
