Not sure about others, but on a 3G network, you're very likely to get a different IP address for each request. This makes tracking a bit more difficult, as you'd have to correlate by lat/long. Given that there doesn't seem to be any sort of uuid in the request and that the requests are likely to be ~10 minutes apart, I'd think the risk of actually being tracked are quite low.


Unless you're accessing a personalized RSS feed.


Did you click through? It's transmitting lat/long coordinates, not an IP address.


How is the HTTP response getting back if it's not broadcasting an IP address?


I think he meant that the IP address is irrelevant since the coordinates are sent too.
