EDIT: Here's another one: after taking photos using the camera app (Android phone), Google Maps later pops up a system notification asking me to upload my photos to the location page of whatever establishment I appeared to be in at the time (bar, park, nightclub, etc.). Frankly, I'm frustrated that I can't find a setting to disable these unwelcome prompts without turning off Maps notifications entirely.
EDIT 2: I suppose I should clarify that I do travel a lot, and the specific feature described in the OP--suggesting things to do based upon inferring your status as an out-of-towner--sounds very useful. But I'd definitely only want it as an opt-in feature, not opt-out.
