  • Chiming in to note that GNSS communications are actually receive only. A typical phone can’t physically broadcast a strong enough signal into mid-earth orbit (where most of those satellites typically are) to achieve the “pinging GPS satellites” issue.

    Note this only refers to how that signal physically hits your phone. Once your position is deduced and digitized there’s an entirely different attack surface.

    The other concerns (especially cell tower data tracking) are valid though.
