[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 137265, member: 357"] sort of, in Australia we have the most stringent privacy laws so unless you permit google to use your GPS it cannot, it can however use a method of triangulation to make an estimate of your location. generally speaking if you took a photo and gave your android phone permission to backup your photos the default is log gps. bit scary.... facebook is worse.... i once posted an image on facebook whilst out prospecting... shortly after maybe 15 minutes a bloke who had friend-ed me popped up in the bush.... he said "you really should hide your location on facebook" he was bale to pin point my exact location [/QUOTE]
