Updated: If you want to see what your history has, go to here: https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0/ and Login with your gmail username / password
If you have an iphone with google maps installed (prior to version 3.2.1), then you can access the same information.

You can see on google maps EVERYWHERE you've ever went. I saw an article today while searching for videos, figured I'd try it myself. Sure enough, I can track my movements 24/7 for the last several years. Worst part is, so can the police and anyone else that has your login info.

Can they find flight MH-370 by doing this?

I’m on FR.
So I know I’m at the top of the list.
It’s actually quite liberating, at least that’s what I tell myself.
On smart phones you can turn this feature off.
On my Android there's an option in one of the menus (can't recall which one) that says "location" or something like that.IIRC if that box isn't checked then locations aren't tracked or logged.
Bear in mind...I only know Androids...*Samsung* Androids to be precise.I know nothing about any other brand or format so what I've said may very well not apply to your phone.
I agree with you. I figure that they have a dossier on every freeper. So I can worry about or let it be and go about my business. We have already lost. The prime example is Hussein Obama in the white house. Nobody knew anything about Mr present and they still voted for him. The dumbing down of America is the real problem.
bump for reference
Hey Cisco, let’s went.
This is awesome, and yes it works! I have an 80 mile one way trip home from work every day. Now my wife can track me if she can’t get hold of me. I actually consider it a good thing.
So, ah ... if I leave my cell phone home, go 500 miles away and rob a bank ... can my cell phone, being at home, provide me with an alibi?
I’ll tell you why I really like this feature: It puts in my hands what the phone company has had for well over a decade.
There was a woman in the seattle area a few years ago that was hanging upside down, alive, for days in a ditch in her car. The phone company would not give her location to her husband. If he and she had this feature and, like my wife and me, had each other’s email passwords, he could have checked it himself as soon as he wondered where she was and found her within hours of the crash rather than days.
This is a VERY good thing in the sense that they are giving to the customer what they and law enforcement have always had.
It’s actually a very good thing as long as it’s not used for that. It’s not a slippery slope issue. The same argument could be made for Odometers: “By keeping track of miles driven the state can look at my odometer and charge me by the mile.”
This is a wonderful feature. And it’s something they’ve been tracking pretty much since day one. For ALL digital cell phones.
Strap it to your dog so its in motion while you’re robbing the bank. Of course if its like my dog it’ll be damned little motion.
Only if you’re signed in to your google account..
If they’re looking for me on this, they’ll strike out.
I have an Android smart phone, but don’t use that crap. I very RARELY even enable the GPS.
All I need to know is where I am.
Click DELETE HISTORY - all done....
You have no location history from February 12, 2015 to March 13, 2015
So, the gubmint is going to buy me one of those silly phones with all the colored crap on the screen? I sure as hell will not buy one or pay $80-$100/mo for that data package I see on mailers.
