Using your phone

While at home I always turn off the location feature on my cellphone (I'm sure I can still be tracked if the NSA so desires but I don't want to make it easier).

However when travelling I turn it back on, for two reasons. One is obvious, it makes using Google maps so much easier because it knows exactly where you are.

But it also tags my photos with exact location, date and time. Which is handy when reviewing them later, even though you can still go in and edit that info.

I don't need to brand my local photos and always know where I'm going :)

I usually keep all location services and features turned off and will turn it on when I travel. I do like the "Timeline" feature and I like to look back through the timeline created while I travel and reminisce about where I was. I am humored by the inaccuracies that show up in the timeline. I'd walk from the hotel, pass St Paul's and into Co-Op or Tesco Express for groceries and Google insists that I visited St Paul's.
