I wasn't there!
Any idea how to interpret info that says I was someplace that I have not been with my iPhone?
Specifically, I live in San Diego, but the tracker says I was all over northern Las Vegas in late June of 2010, shortly after getting my phone. The last time I was in Vegas, however, is at least 3 years ago. It was among one of the first iPhone 4's shipped out, so no way it was a return that had previously been in that area.
I had to laugh at this. My track shows me in a part of Australia I have never visited, while my phone and I were in Korea.
One of the theories is that iPhones have final assembly in Las Vegas and are thus powered on at that point. Might hold true for other locations.
We are seeing a lot of people with Vegas on their phones. Unless there were a lot of lost weekends, we've wondered about either an error in the cell data or an Apple facility there.

Also: Note that the points is the GSM antenna/wifi hotspot location, NOT the phone location!!!! And the iPhone might be able to see/log GSM antennas that are up to 100 MILES away! Does that make it more valid?
Even if my phone were logging antennae 100 miles away on a regular basis, the Las Vegas locations would make no sense.
Yeah, I haven't been within 2500 miles of Las Vegas with my iPhone and I too got this weird Vegas data point.
