Android Location Cache - Exploring my own phone
Off of the recent "iOS caches your every location, OMG" hubub...
Android has a cache, too, although it's limited to only 50 points for cell locations and 200 for wifi locations:
// Cache sizes private static final int MAX_CELL_RECORDS = 50; private static final int MAX_WIFI_RECORDS = 200;
So I used the following tool on my own phone:
I probably should have plotted these as points and not lines...
Cell (data ranges from 2011-04-10T21:16:03.633000Z to 2011-04-21T20:31:08.418000Z):
Wifi (data ranges from 2011-04-20T23:47:34.541000Z to 2011-04-21T20:31:08.418000Z):
Wifi zoomed around my general area - most of these are right, although I haven't been outside of the Herndon/Reston area in the past couple of days:
Wifi around my house -
Wifi around where I biked yesterday -
