If you have a "Smart Phone" with Google Maps, then you can see your history on Google Maps of being tracked.

I don't want to know where I've been.

It would scare me.

You can turn it off. I don’t recall how, but I did and there is no history showing for me.

Realistically, this is what these states are doing/going to do in order to tax your driving by the mile. And the sad thing is not that the government thinks this is a good idea (criminals are expected to commit crimes), but that most people don’t give a damn (victims are supposed to object to being robbed).

Your smart phone not only keeps track of where you’ve been, in also predicts where you are going to go next.

That first dawned on me when I would go on my phone and connect to the internet on Fridays and up would pop information on Costco, including a map and directions how to get there from where I was. My wife and I only go to Costco on Friday evenings, so that was the first clue. Then I noticed my phone started doing that for other locations as well, So it knows from my habits where I am headed next.

I don’t need someone to tell me where I’ve been. I need someone to tell me where I was going.

I keep the tracking function off. Uses to much data and I'm stingy with my Data.
I'm sure it's a good feature if you have to prove to the Boss or Spouse you've
been a good busy bee.

“You have no location history for March 13, 2015”

And I’ve got 100+ miles on today.

If you turn off the tracking, they don’t track you.

Yes, a cell phone turned on will leave a track of where you’ve been.

Can actually be a cool thing if someone is abducted or gets lost and needs to be found.

If you don’t want to leave tracks of where you’ve been, turn your cell phone off when you go there or don’t bring it with you.

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’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.

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.
