I mean, I feel like that's going to happen regardless if you're using an Android phone. I don't think using a different app for GPS navigation is going to change that. I'm not saying we shouldn't push for more stuff to be opt in and allow people to have their privacy maintained, but in the market right now, the app you use for GPS isn't changing who is tracking you.
