Could one infer one's address from their tracklogs though? Prize to anyone 
(not Steve) who can guess what street I live on from my tracklogs :-) What I 
do (which might not be typical) is only switch on my GPS when I want to 
record somewhere, not every time I set out from where I live.

A genuine privacy concern is that someone could use tracklogs to identify 
where you were at a certain moment in time, but again not too much of a 
problem as tracklogs  can be made private.
