    I just clicked on some setting on my Note2 and it brought up a recent location i went to and asked if i wanted to write a review on it? This has me thinking, what are all the locations on my note 2 that are storing info on where i have gone? Is there a master button to purge everything, maps, google now, etc?

    Thanks.

    For Google Maps, this link will help.

    Not sure how to get rid of any other specific item but Latitudes is the location "brain" from what I understand. I assume you could Google search that.

    Or just stay out of the strip joints!! ;) (j/k)
