I dated someone who had an application on their phone that could find where your cell phone was, thus where you were. They would enter in a cell number to the application and be able to locate you/cell via the GPS. We didn't date long ;)

Zoom in on the map and click on a red waypoint for info.
Use your "back" button and pick another.
This Ham radio system is known as APRS. Handy and a lot of fun.
You'll see it's used a lot more in the rest of the world than in the USA.
Notice the speeds. A lot of ships, some aircraft.

GPS not even needed. The cell network alone can be pretty discrete, especially in urban areas.
