You can run but you can't hide. Nope not using it and hopefully never will. One more step and Big brother will be using it for each of us.

laf, they can already use your cell phone to track you anyways.
it's pretty neat to see what your buddies are up too, and where they are at.

Hadn't heard of this until now. I'm not using it but it might be an interesting item to have. My family can track my location when I'm out hunting.

You can turn off GPS on the phones.
You cannot turn off cell tower tracking though.
