Is GPS Tracking bad?

We’re all familiar with GPS tracking for quite some time now. It’s an old technology but still not yet widely utilized, which is a good thing in my opinion.

We see it usually installed in vehicles to help drivers navigate unfamiliar places. GPS tracking is also used to locate lost or stolen vehicles. Just a few years ago it was also introduced in mobile phones which can double as a GPS tracking system. This is very helpful to keep tabs on your kids.

There’s also a bad side on GPS tracking especially if used for malicious intent. Criminals can track you and study your pattern and behavior. We’ve seen in movies how GPS tracking is used to monitor a person’s daily route and routines. And I won’t be surprised if there’s already GPS device that is so small that it cannot be easily detected.

So is GPS tracking good or bad? Well if you have nothing to hide or no enemies then you don’t have to be paranoid about it.
