I'm hostile towards telemetry by default because of how much spyware there is in today's technology. I'll only allow it if it's reasonable ( e.g. a GPS getting your location, system diagnostics for software devs ) and it's consentual.

GPS is "passive". It's basically (i'm oversimplifying) sitting there listening to the satellites each broadcasting info, then triangulates itself based on the passive receipt of that data.

i think they are referencing map apps vs gps as a technology

Hmm... possible... fuck those though. Just buy a Garmin.

Do those have good traffic data? Because some people still need that.

Yeah, there's a receiver built into the charger.
