There's no point making it a secret, once someone looks at the GPS logs his would have gaping holes in the logs compared to other workmates. You can hide where you are, but you can't hide that you are hiding.
- rxhernandez 9y agoWell you can fake GPS coordinates but it's typically much more difficult.
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoDoesn't Android at least have a debugging option to fake location?
- rbanffy 9y agoI just checked and I'm not getting a real GPS signal where I am. My position is being calculated based on cell towers and wifi networks around me. Two of our meeting rooms seem to be (an unhappy accident, most likely) shielded so that no cell networks are reachable. It's hard to fake cell towers, but wi-fi signal is rather easy.
- jdietrich 9y agoMost indoor locations have little or no GPS signal. I don't know the specifics of their tracking software or whether a chip bag would block GSM signals, but it's plausible that his GPS tracks just looked like he was working indoors.
- flukus 9y agoYou're assuming someone actually looks at them. They more than likely just get archived somewhere and are only looked at when there is a strong reason to, like work not being done. It's the sort of feature that sounds good to management that don't think about what they're actually going to do with the data. I'm sure many of us here have worked on similar reports the are just huge data dumps that no one ever looks at but management just had to have it for some reason.
