    Default Strava Global Heatmap

    Anybody else heard of this? It track Fitbit, Jawbones and Garmin wearable devices along with fitness phone apps and applies them to a world map.

    You can go here to the site Global Heatmap. Then go to the search window and type any location. I typed in "South Carolina, United States". Here's a screenshot:

    I saw a story a while back where this type of mapping was creating maps of US (and other) military bases worldwide. Servicemen using the fitness trackers were unwittingly showing the roads, paths, and outlines of their installations to the world.

    Yeah there's a video out there that shows that activity. On the map you only see a compilation of movement, but the ability to break it down to specific people on any given day is there. That ain't good in my book. The site says you can block your own data from other eyes. I bet I know several "eyes" that use alphabets, and any number of hackers, that can't be blocked out. We know how that "control your own data" works.

    It just reminded me that I'm equal distances from Columbia and Sumter, that's pretty nappy.
