    I was thinking more along the lines of asking Apple to fix it for me. As I see it they are responsible for this issue.Quote... "Apple admitted that it could do a better job managing the crowd-sourced location database"Apple claim they do not use the information to track users however they do not, can not, speak for 3rd party app developers. I assume the data is freely available on un-jailbroken devices. If it wasn't Apple would obviously capitalise on the fact that JB'd devices were the only ones that were affected.For those of us still using unsupported iDevices such as iPhone 3G etc. who choose to JB we have a program called Untrackerd. For those of us who don't "we Know where you are... We can track you... ;oP"Ok a little Big Brotherish/paranoid, but a security issue none the less. one I feel Apple should address in earlier models they no longer care/bother to support (Bad PR Apple. Customer confidence nil points)If Apple don't supply a fix for unsupported devices does this not imply that they actually condone the practice of JBing your device (once they've milked it for every cent)? As it will be the only option left available to unsupported users. Hmmm....
