I am sure that is a huge amount of data, I am not sure which tasks machine learning could solve in this context. Maybe for finding people who have visited the same places as I have? By the way, there are even phones that have WLan as well as GPS (just think of the OpenMoko free software based smart phone). I think there were even navigation devices (?) that contain both, GPS and WLan chips. > At least there might be room left to squeeze in POIs? I a kind of lost here - POI?
