 Ni>>> One thing about Gmail is that it has a sort of smart email filter that

 Ni>>> anymore, as they go directly to spam.  But sometimes I do need to check
 Ni>>> my spam in case it mistakenly flagged a real email.

Just saying, google can develop very effective tools (spam filters) cause it has full access to millions of emails. i like efective spam filters! just pointing out that google can access a huge dataset to train their filters and that makes it potentially very effective.

It is the same with google maps. when you use it in your car as a route planner, you act as a live google sensor. Its a give and take. You just have to be aware of it, that you pay with your data at free and paid google services.

Its all good and no issue if you don't mind sharing all your data =)
I do use google maps also and other google services, but where possible i try to slowly degoogle the services i use.
