[QUOTE="user 12139, post: 492743, member: 12139"] Bazza, I think you should be ok storing locations on a GPS satnav, I do. But this alone won't stop prying eyes, you need to be very carful when back home updating or syncing your device. My suggestion is, save your SatNav data elsewhere and delete all info on it before performing any type of update or syncing. My SatNav uses a mem card, all my data is saved to the card, I then remove that card from the device and delete everything on the device before performing any sort of update or sync task. One thing you need to keep in mind is.. selecting not to use waypoints or trails on any sort of device won't stop prying eyes, because software can be programmed so that it automatically saves this type of data anyway and passes it onto the devices PC software or developers server when updating or syncing the device or its software. Yes, that includes SatNavs too! The best advice I can give you is, read the software terms and conditions of use and make sure you interpret everything from all angles. If they don't [b]explicitly[/b] say they're not doing something, then beware! [/QUOTE]
