Twitter is a conscious act of publishing info into a public sphere, and the public nature of it is very obvious and upfront. I don't think it's OK to dox someone if they publish under a pseudonym on twitter although.
I'm not publishing my walking info that happens in public, even if the information is public, and someone has to do extra effort to get my unpublished information. I'm also not publishing my identity when I walk down the street, someone would have to dox me to figure out who I am on top of that, unless I was a public figure and they already knew who I was.
On the other hand if it's general information about a spot, I don't really mind too much. This happens already with traffic speed analysis on public roads for example for cars.

And there are many similar infrastructural analytics I don't care much about, as long as it's done to maintain a system and not to track identities, much like server traffic usage & CPU usage monitoring on servers.
