Google Maps is handy to have around, especially when traveling, but did you know that the company is using the app to track and store every location you've ever visited with your phone?
It should not come as a surprise that Google is using its location services to track its users. After all, the company already knows your age, your interests and how many times you've searched for particular topics online.
