Wouldn't GPS tracking mean that they can know your location?

I brought up the doctor example because I only mention my medical problems to my employer if I have to miss work due to illness. Generally speaking, I do not want the information about any of my daily activities to be logged anywhere unless I am at work.

All this, of course, wouldn't be such a big deal if the intent to track had been fully disclosed to employees.

A short article regarding the issue:
