Just checked my tracking data and sure it shows my house etc however it shows most of the time is spent in Belfast a city some 40 miles away, also shows me in London and Birmingham, I have never set foot in England. Put it this way, I wouldn't like to be trying to find me using this data

It's only cell tower location it stores, not your actual location.

In reality the tracker means nothing but gives the paranoid something else to moan about together with google and store cards et al.

Because it was done without your consent.And people don't seem to be able to comprehend the simplicity of it.
