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.

As a driver as I am seeing it; when you use your maps and navigator it will show exactly where you have been. Otherwise it is only showing which towers your phone has pinged which is way inaccurate as to where you have been or miles driven. The difference in your history will be shown in red or black lines. Black being navigated routes.
History doesn’t get deleted on the Google servers, or in the ISP servers. Not with that ‘delete’ function.
There is no history SHOWING, but I bet that google and the NSA are still saving the data to your dossier.

Of that I have no doubt
Keeping my dumb phone till it dies.
There’s usually a mark...
Not now....
If you think “they” aren’t tracking FR.....
Your cell phone company still has this same information by which towers your phone has connected to. All of that is logged. With a smart phone, you can also have access to that data.
The only way to opt out is to not use a cell phone or carry your cell phone in a Faraday cage type case and only bring it out to make calls.
Theoretically, that requires a warrant, not a Google search.
What shape does my tinfoil hat have to be to make a Faraday cage?
right, but the google search only works if you have the login iformation. I can find where I’ve been by logging in to that page, but nobody else can go there and get where I’ve been unless Google gives them that, and then, you’re back to warrants being needed, I would assume.
Similarly with cell phones, if you don’t have your phone password protected or encrypted, a cop can take it from you and look through it because there’s nothing stopping him. Just like they will look through your wallet and possessions if you get arrested. If you have that encrypted or the phone password protected, you can refuse to relinquish that information without a warrant in the same way you can refuse to open a locked glove box without a warrant.
Ping for later
True. But if you keep your phone off, I don’t think there’s any mechanism that keeps cell towers tracking it. I wouldn’t think it’d be expending energy that way if it’s turned off.
phones can be woken up remotely, even if they’re turned off.

Bkmk
maybe 6 months....the idea that Google is going to pay for that extra space to save everyone’s tracking is expensive endeavor....the NSA just found that out with their new facility...
