I think Google apologizers has become worse than Apple apologizers but let me try one more time.
If you install current Google maps to your Symbian phone (possibly others soon) and "reset it", it will send your personal "favorites" (read: locations saved) to Google, without even asking you. For example "Grandma's home" goes from your personal phone memory to Google, instantly.
It must have sort of "opt out" too of course but it doesn't change the fact that Google really looks like some sort of information vam

I don't care if Google knows where Grandma lives. It's the Big bad wolf that I'm worried about.
