look at the whitehouse lawn in the heat map, there's what looks like data from someone walking the yard.

Obama wears/wore a Fitbit. But the tracks on top of the WH look like intermediate paths, e.g. someone jogs past the SE corner at e.g. 9:20, and the GPS signal is lost, and then they are spotted again at 9:40 at the NW corner, then the line would be drawn across the WH.

Like any other data breach, it speaks for the customers who want offline, non-cloud solutions...

that makes sense.
I looked this up on the map and the only activity I see is in The Ellipse and Lafayette Square. I see no activity at all around the White house itself or the South Lawn. Has the data since been scrubbed?

The Pentagon is also entirely dark.

this is what I see when I look at the south lawn https://imgur.com/DslRELO
it's faint, indicating it may only be one or two users who tracked their activity there, but it's there.
I switched to another color and set to only foot traffic and I see some faint activity but it appears to run along the fence, I don't see anything inside what I think is the secure perimeter of the White House grounds. I admit to not being familiar with the perimeter there though.
there's tracks on the runways at Andrews air force base.
