I just came across Bike Hub - http://road.cc/content/news/113674-cycle-satnav-app-now-finds-cycling-clubs... . Being Garmin-less I thought I'd have a look. It would appear that the standard Ts & Cs inlcude one that allows the app call phone numbers directly, presumably hoiked out of the phone's memory. This seesm odd - am I wrong to be paranoid and to leave quickly or is it a worthwhile and honest app?

The same t&cs are used for google maps app. This is so when you search for bobs bike shop it can show you where it is with a convenient button that allows you to call directly from the app without having to copy and paste into your phones main phone application

Ah, that makes sense. The health warning that popped up sort of suggested that it could unilaterally start calling heaven knows what without you knowing.
