Uh, GPS is a big tech companies service, as big tech companies put the satellites up there that are sending the signals?

There are some GPS tags that determine their location and then send that to a companies server via a non-GPS satellite at set periods.

It's not too hard to make a small device that can determine its location via GPS, the hard part is getting that information to you.


No, even if all proprietary software was to magically became secure tomorrow, that wouldn't make it the slightest bit acceptable - as such would still trample over the 4 freedoms the same amount.
