There was an iPhone security issue a while back where the OS would keep an unencrypted file with months and months of location data on your phone and in your iTunes’ back-up files.

A cool visualization app was made that allows you to see a map of your stored location data.

A bunch of people freaked out and Apple released updates that both encrypted the location data and also shortened the time frame that was retained.

I purposefully stopped updating iTunes and my iPhone’s iOS so these security updates would not be applied before the big trip.

Here is the pay-off… my iPhone’s iPhoneTracker map - post 4 Corners Ride.

Where are we??

Chiefs have a pow-wow over the map.

I am using the TrackMyTour iPhone app to keep this map up to date on where we are at in our massive cross country tour.

But it is kind of confusing - so let me explain the map for you.

Green line = where we we’re going the posted speed limit

Pink line = where we we’re speeding

Red pins = where we stopped to eat/sleep/fuel-up

Blue circle = where we are currently eating/sleeping/fueling-up Hope that clears everything up.
