Mine used to leave that for dead. 'hey siri, go to Waugh St'

Stupid cow kept giving me directions to Wall St NY

A EICR is perfectly legal, and my attorney says just leave the phone at

The problem is when it comes to important info most of these sites are
clueless, as they only know the info they have been told, often by the venue
and the history of you.
So if nobody has put on the database that half the visitors the d before
went down with food poisoning or had issues with over chlorination you would
not know about it. Brian

I am both in awe and worried. Some of those places I have never been to.

Now these are not always places I have put into a Google search entry. I
know that I once stopped and had a **** in a pub car park on my way to
Filey (she was driving so I drank six cans of beer on the way there).
That's showing as somewhere I have been.

But the last time I went near Carlisle? Probably 1991.

And no records whatsoever of me going to London. Leicester, Nottingham,

Hells bells.

It knows that when I was working at Whitby I called at the Grapes for a

back from the Grapes.

Mind you I never went to Hull on the train the next day.

I have an answer to that one. Google has only been tracking me since
20th June 2016. The other trips were before that date.

I'll have to have a look and see what date "I went" to Carlisle and how
I got there.

I have been watching my location history for some time. A couple of
years ago I spent a day at the Great Dorset steam fair. As far as my
location history was concerned I had spent most of the day in a field in
Dorset with a couple of quick trips during the day to Liverpool.

I can only assume that the portable mobile mast being used at the GDSF
had previously been used in Liverpool and was reporting a false location
- to Google at least if not to the telcos.

Other than that it has been pretty good.

If using location history on a PC the settings cog allows you to show
raw data which comes complete with an error ring

I use mobile broadband for my internet connection. I don't have a
smartphone, just a PC. I sometimes, but not often, log into Google; I
have location etc, disabled. Generally Google thinks my location is
London, sometimes maps etc seem to think I am elsewhere, but not
Somerset which is where I am.
In the summer I was in Italy, using my mobile broadband. A friend from
Rome, who has an android smartphone with location on arrived in the
village, and was rather surprised when his timeline location suddenly
announced he was not only making a visit to Somerset but to the very
hamlet where I now live.

Google's geolocation on a PC, and their geolocation on a phone are like
night and day, the phone has numerous radios (gps, wifi, bluetooth, 3G)
to locate you by, and the whole "fleet" of phones effectively act
together to give pretty good results.

e.g. even if your phone has GPS turned off, someone else's phone is
likely to have visited the same location with GPS enabled and reported
what wifi access points are visible from there, so your phone reports
what wifi it can see, and how strong their signals are, then google can
generally work out where you are quite reliably.

Their location on my PC wanders wildly around the country, and I like
that I'm not in their cross-hairs.
