No, not normally. An application like Google Latitude can be used to
broadcast your location so your friends can view it- but it is under
your control.
No one else can arbitrarily track you if you're using a GPS device.

Unless, like mine, you respond to Nokia maps "connect to the
internet", to send your GPS coordinates to Nokia maps, who
return a street plan with street names. Very useful.
Anyone, with suitable equipment, like as how you under
state surveillance as a potential threat, and all your
mobile use is being monitored, can intercept it via
the cellphone company, and track your position.
So not only does the base station you connect to
fix your approximate location, but using Nokia maps
could fix your position within a couple of feet.
So your missis might not be able to track you
at an away game/frolic, but a government could.
Anyone nearby you can potentially monitor your cellphone,
and bluetooth use, and even rummage through your
messages, call history, and address book.
UK tabloids have been outed for using these
techniques.

I wouldn't agree about bluetooth- unless you're dumb enough to leave it
switched on and visible. There is no reason whatsoever to keep bluetooth
turned on all the time, or in anything but hidden mode. Trusted devices
can be paired, and they will be able to connect without having to keep
visibility on.
As for state surveillance, well....I would have scoffed at it a few
years ago, but I don't envy anyone living in the UK currently.
I would say 'who's going to bother about tracking you', but there's way
too many stories about CCTV cameras and snooping on private citizens to
not worry about that.
Ironic, that technology today lets supposedly democratic countries reach
levels of surveillance that the Stasi and KGB could only have dreamt of,
back in the day.

well i understand uk saves all citizens data i had
friend at church and didnt want them getting my home
address and because he though of setting me up on data got
my address from info brooker but got wrong address being i

Not sure if the average person can get cell number but
parental software that locates your childs position on a
map is available, and only the parent can locate the
position. I believe it is a subscription service.
If the security services are interested in you they
can intercept all your phone activities because being
state security they get cooperation from the network
operator.
To produce a street map in a foreign country not
installed on the phone, the phone goes onto the
internet, sends your GPS position, and Nokia Maps
sends back the street plan, with street names.
Phone internet access can be monitored by anyone
with a suitable receiver, cellphone calls are not
totally secure, for total call security you would need
uncrackable encryption, a bit like Tetris.

Friend could not do this, state security could ask network
provider what cells your phone had connected to for more
than the last few days.

so being cell phones are not 100 percent safe is it
bad idea to bank on it such as calling you bank and
inputing info

was useing metro by the way what phone company gives
best no contract deal that you know of

so i should never check bank balance etc from cell
