What is the dangers of geolocation?
The risk with GPS is that, in the wrong hands, the location information collected can be used to track your whereabouts. Someone with access to GPS location information can work out where you go and what you do, and even where you live.
Why geolocation is good?
With geolocation, businesses can effectively track check-ins and gain tangible results on customer traffic and sales. The technology also allows businesses to improve their search engine rankings by taking advantage of geographically based review sites such as Yelp.
Is geolocation your exact location?
Geolocation data can clearly identify an individual's physical address, including their exact longitude and latitude at a point in time. However, it can also be used to track an individual's movements to determine patterns and behaviors.
How do I allow geolocation?
Open your phone's Settings app. Under "Personal," tap Location access. At the top of the screen, turn Access to my location on or off.
