location tracking
#26
This is definitely out of my league,  but are not the maps keyed to specific gps co-ordinates or possibly are there maps that are available that are gps keyed ? 

The onboard gps should have a co-ordinate fix of where it is in relation to the satellites,  yes ?

It seems along the way some of the software started relying on Googles idea of using every wifi router and cell tower on earth to define locations. (?)

IF .... a fifty dollar hand held gps receiver can pin point its own location ?
                  Then what is all this Microsoft style bloatware still doing in an "open source" program.?

 >  I DO apologize if this sounds a bit like a "rant"  but when I think of "Linux"  I have always thought it was free of all this Google/Apple/ Microsoft style
         Hidden tracking services.

 >  I DO appreciate all the digging into this you have done here,  pointing out so much,   ...   though there is likely even more within...

   Guess, for the time being I should just delete the invasive app's and carry my handheld gps,   if I need directions.

    Thank you for all your efforts, and for sharing,  very informative.   Today our privacy (or lack of)  depends on our own devices...
