  • Where am I and where am I going.

    I suppose most of you have noticed this, but usually I don't get
    feedback where the system that be thinks my cellphone is.

    I live in NW Baltimore and the other day I was at a Home Depot a mile
    away, and I logged into HD, and the email that got generated said I was
    in Silver Spring, Md., about 40 miles from here!

    Today I was about 5 miles from the center of town when I logged into
    Amazon, and the email that got generated (again to warn me that someone
    was using my account) said I was in North Carolina, 2 1/2 states away
    from here.

    I know this isn't upposed to be that accurate but it is less accurate
    than I expected.

    For this purpose use like any other intelligent human being your GPS.
