I took the exact opposite conclusion from this information. How is it useful for stalking if it doesn't give more exact location? On the other hand if I'm looking for my own car that somebody took out of the city, this at least gives me a general idea of its location.
- jjk166 2y agoFor stalking/espionage, approximate locations (especially which can be refined over long observation periods and combined with other data) are often fine. Patterns like when does someone leave for work, what shifts do they work, where do they go on weekends, etc can be quite apparent. If your car is stolen, what good is knowing the general location?
- throwaway11460 2y agoHmm, I guess my eurothinking is showing. I work and live within a 5 km radius. I guess in the US you can get much more useful that's even though it's approximate. If my car is stolen and taken away, at least I can call that city/country police instead of waiting when it gets through the bureaucracy.
