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.
