I don't know....maybe I'm missing something but isn't the geo-locator there for when folks on cell phones call 911 so the nice folks in emergency services can find you? You know, so that when you're in a car accident and don't know where the heck you are because you're hurt and in shock they can find you and hopefully save your life rather than finding your dead body somewhere?

Or you're a tourist in need of medical services and don't know where you are or are kid calling for help for a myriad of reasons - lost, kidnapped, mom or dad is hurt etc?

I see more value in the offering than consipiracy myself.
