Lot’s of hoopla in the last few days over the discovery that the iPhone keeps a database of locations it has traveled. Wasn’t long before someone in the R community figured out how to tap into this file and with a mere two lines of code you can visualize where your phone has been on a map.
The code library comes complements of Drew Conway over on the r-bloggers page. I installed the app and within a few seconds had several maps of my recent travels. I attach two images below (don’t tell my mom).
