Is the solution to Auckland's traffic problem in our pockets? Our National Correspondent has been investigating how the movements of your smartphone are being tracked, collected and sold to government agencies. To read more about this, click here.
The location data Google and Spark collect from our smartphones is being studied to try and solve Auckland's biggest transport problems.
For example, some data is being used to help monitor the performance of new state highway infrastructure or upgrades, including measuring travel times through the Waterview Tunnel.
What are your thoughts on this? Were you aware of it? Do you think a solution to your city's roads can be found in the data? Let us know in the replies!

These may be used to tidy up tables, drawers, tools, sewing/craft or even sending out gift parcels. Children might enjoy them. Its 0.50 cents a box or $4.00 for 10

Some people on youtube say that this is fake. It's is fake only if you have not tried it. I reckon it is a good idea to try this without buying new wired headphones. You can buy wireless headphones I believe now but they do cost a lot depending where and what store you buy them from.
Or maybe someone can mail me some electrical copper wire, I'd say I only what 1-2 metres worth, not that much really.
