I think it’s time to go back to the good, old Nokia phone that so carelessly gave up for a fancy, shiny smartphone.
Alasdair Allan and Pete Warden (whom I’m convinced doesn’t sleep) have discovered that iPhones record your locations in a local, unencrypted file.
“All iPhones appear to log your location to a file called ‘consolidated.db.’ This contains latitude-longitude coordinates along with a timestamp. The coordinates aren’t always exact, but they are pretty detailed.” (via O’Reilly Radar)
Update: Grab Warden’s app here.
