In the privacy community there are services, programs for private maps use. Some even suggest using the phone without a SIM card (which is quite possible, but you can get into trouble). But I don't use them, as my geolocation is already tracked by an advanced camera system in my city, by my cell provider via triangulation. What are your thoughts on this? Do you use OpenStreetMap for private navigation?

I leave my phone in airplane mode all the time. I only turn on the cellular radio when I need data. But not when I'm just roaming around.

When the radio is on I'm tracked, and I know it, and when the radio is off I'm not.

Just because your camera network exists, doesn't mean you have to make it easy for them.

it already is. our camera system recognizes, identifies people easily.

No reason to give up and make it even easier for them.
