That's the downside and I'm by no means suggesting someone should do this unless they really want to! The comment was more for those who really do want to.

But yes: I do that. I personally think it's very interesting to see where I've been and to visualize the traces, especially when I'm traveling around the world.

When I originally started a few years ago, battery drain from running a GPS logger 24/7 on a phone was significant. This was a good alternative. I'm now used to it and appreciate that I'm fully in control of that data.
