Ian, I would say the nature of this app would allow it to be used for near-real-time tracking through crowdsourcing based on multiple lobs, cuts, & fixes from other users in the subscriber network (cont’d): https://twitter.com/ianbirdsall4/status/1254183888282243073
It also helps establish user movement patterns,rate of travel & frequency of visits to certain areas. This IS “tracking” but it also creates valuable intelligence for predictive HUMINT, competitive intelligence based on consumer profile patterns, & behavioral data (cont’d)
Essentially each subscriber & subscriber community member become unwitting intelligence assets & targets at the same time. This can be done with a much simpler app/device offering such as #Tile which costs $20+ @ any #BestBuy . Agreed, not real time tracking, but near real:
