<p>My hood in Beijing, clearly I have stood often right outside Mix at Beijings Workers Stadium&hellip; ;) And A-Hotel, my home. :D</p>

<p>Seems to mainly include points when my phone had internet connection or if Google Maps (Navigation) or Waze was turned on. Other places in China (when I didn&rsquo;t have roaming) are quite scarce.</p>
<p>NYC (+ JFK &amp; EWR) seem to be quite scarce as well (limited roaming &amp; WiFi):</p>

Pretty cool. Scary, I'll admit. Giving Google (and whoever else) the power to, well, track you.
But nevertheless, pretty cool to see where I have been in 3 days time. &lt;br /&gt;
Finally an app that automatically checks you in (don't think other apps a la 4SQ and Gowala do that ? At least, Brightkite, when I used it, didn't do that on iPhone). Now geoloc is becoming useful. I no longer need to take my phone out. My phone is doing it for me.
