Don't know if this is a well known feature with iOS7 but not something I had heard of and I tend to follow this stuff quite closely

I have just returned from work and go into notification center and it knows where I am going next and tells me how long it will take me to get there!

Now I go to this place at roughly the same time every Monday so this is clearly how it knows but I thought is really shows how much technology is becoming a part of who we are as well as what we do being able to predict this kind of thing.
I never before considered how powerful simple information like this can be when used well and I can only foresee it becoming more prominent as the technology is developed further.

Personally I'm not concerned about the privacy matters sorounding this as I know it is fully within my controls to disable this feature and I don't think my habits are of particular interest to anyone but other might take a different view.

The setting and the data it collects can be found in:
Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Frequent Locations

The actual data is quite interesting and accurate
