Very good point. I remember Dennis Crowley talking about the beginning of location based applications. Everyone at the time was trying to find a way to automatically track users.

Crowley's solution was simple: just let users track themselves by checking-in manually. Many thought it wouldn't work; that people could easily cheat the system. But so far it's been pretty successful.
