The problem is, I want location tracking. I want a piece of software to tell me where I left my headphones or my wallet. I want it to let me know that I left the house without my bag. I want to have a piece of software Tell me where I was 3 Thursdays ago at 7pm for what the date was The last time I went to a certain park. I want my navigation software to tell me that I need to make a left turn up ahead.

I just don't want Apple or Google to have that information.

My carrier and my ISP know where I am, that is unavoidable. They don't even need GPS to tell that they know where their assets are and they know which of their assets I'm connecting to. I am quite certain the NSA has access to that data as well.
