In order for you to receive a normal call, your phone is to locate and connect to a nearby tower. Google uses the same location information for My Location. It tells Google where a handset is but not who's using it, their phone number or any other personal information. And, if you want, you can always disable the feature." I love it. What a rat pack of lies! Google is practically in bed with the intelligence community but now they want you to believe that you posses the ability to turn the feature "off". Hey, this might be a good way to enhance the mobile GPS capabilities but don't try to feed us a big bowl of bulls**t chilly stew.

Google seems to be making a fortune from all this "free" stuff. Free my ass, they rip off the advertisers with click fraud.
