Depending on who "someone" is makes a big difference. If it's your cell phone provider or these days they guys who control the communcations of your cell phone network (think outsources providers like TING) then they will be able to track you down to within a about a hundred yards of your location in a metropolitian area through triangulation of cell phone towers.
This technology was abailable long before cell phones by the way. If it's someone like a mod on CP that can only see your IP address then no, they're lucky if they can track your location down to a 50 or 100 mile raidus of your true location. As far as your apps and location finder they do user more sophisticated methods than a simple IP lookup so yes they'll be able to pinpoint about the same as your cell phone provider. I'm not quiet the hard core techie I once was but I'm pretty sure this is still the rule of thumb. |

The answer is yes and no, if they know precisely what your ip address is than yes they can track it down by that, however as you said it is quite simple just to change the address

I'm still fuzzy on how the apps give out where I am, is there a way to check that or to ensure that doesn't happen?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location-based_service Oh, and "triangulation" is probably an outdated term today. It's probably more like hepta-angulation in metro areas these days. |
