Woodside:
well im blown away...
i was trying to find an address that i have visited for work and i knew i had used my phones sat nav...
so while looking through my phone maps app i went onto "my timelime" hoping to find the post code..
it lists all the places times routes i have taken for yonks..
i kinda liked that very usefull unless you are doing somthing you shouldnt be doing..
but what amazed me it was correct saying i was
walking
driving
motorcycling
i can see how it can tell between walking and driving but motorcycling and driving..
i was out last night just to use a bike ...i never overtook sat in traffic didnt filter and sat behind every car...but it was correct saying motorcycling...
cannot be acceleration  although it was the blade. it was also correct for the xt500 amd 500/4
is it movement sensors in the phone
bloody clever what ever
if you want to check it out im on android

Tomb:
More worrying is that "they" can tell what we're doing, the technology is clearly out there in use.

You can turn it off  ;) ;)
What gets me is with facebook how the hell does it know people I may know Spooky.

Woodside:
my hatred of all the big brother we're watching you ideas makes me want to turn it off...
but as i cannot remember where i was yesterday let alone a week ago being a self employed sparks .with far to much on..i actually find it quite handy so i can work out where and when i was somewhere...
and as im not up to anything that shady it is more use than nuisance..
just amazed it knows the difference in car and bike...

K2-K6:
You'd have a guess at different acceleration rates to separate them I suppose.

Don't know how you'd test that though,  maybe take it on a roller-coaster to see what it said. It'd know the location though, so probably have that in it's library of criteria it's comparing you with ;D
