Fascinating selection of routes, some of which could be accounted for by friends/relatives travelling together with different destinations but on the same general route. But why do people let the world know where they are? Not using the device is not enough, It has to be switched off to avoid tracking. Mine is only switched on when I am willing to accept calls or need to make a call. That only amounts to a small proportion of my waking hours so it is more often off than on..
