I don't disagree that there is a privacy issue (thank you Apple), but so long as we are able to develop infrastructure representing structures, facilities, common events, news locations etc we should be fine. The definition or exceptions to "Precise Geolocation" should allow for development of information that aid in communication and facilitation of displaying relative information. Locations will need to be considered a common location such as an address without personal information. When a location is associsted with personal information or identity it should not be precise unless warrented and desired. Protecting someone's right to privacy has always been a consideration by GIS professionals and remains an part of the GISP Code of Ethics, Article IV (http://goo.gl/RoQei).Mike Vanhookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04670447703426956517noreply@blogger.com
