1. I can turn off location settings on my phone.
2. I can also log out of Google maps app, and still use the app.
3. I can go into google maps app settings under "google location settings" and untick the box that says "access location".
4. I can disable location history for google location services from the same place in settings.
Like I said, you can uncheck a lot of stuff and still use the app.
I don't want to be tracked when I asked not to, but I'm not convinced that's happening from a clickbait tabloid article with spelling errors in headline, and vague details.
I also would like to use GPS without anything else for maps, so I tried Maps.Me for awhile, but as most people know it can take a long time to lock on when only using GPS. sometimes several minutes depending where you are, or whether moving etc.
> And then you attack the source! Geesh.
If you're implying the Daily Telegraph source is worth defending against ridicule, perhaps spend a bit of time on that site and see if you come away with any respect for their journalism. The Mod has changed the link anyway now to the Guardian, since the "source" prior to that was clickbait rubbish.
