I wouldn't be so sure. Juries can be convinced of anything if you look at past judgements against Monsanto. I'm not saying that I think Google is innocent but often the evidence is very difficult for the lay person to interpret (e

Would airplane mode or poor signal change that? I think GPS is still on during airplane mode. I'm assuming it saves periodically and uploads when it acquires a connection.
