Moreover, it has privacy implications, and obviously, people would need to
be informed they are being tracked. I don't like it and think it should
require the explicit action of the user.

Having said all of that, we have also implemented the "Coordinate" data
value type, which is also meant to be able to allow recording of coordinate
data in aggregate data sets (possibly tracker as well) which might be a
distinct coordinate from the one of the event. I do not think it has been
implemented as a feature in any of the clients at the moment, but it has
been a requested feature to do this from some people.

Regards,
Jason
