Sooraj Mishra@UnicornLady @CoMaps Yeah but a navigation app without access to GPS is kind of worthless?
Google location access is quite annoying and only way would be to use vanilla rom (without Gapps) but it has its own issues.
RejZoR@dark_phoenix @UnicornLady @CoMaps You can disable Google and only use GPS on any phone, but is a bit slower.
@rejzor @UnicornLady @CoMaps Oh yeah, CoMaps has a feature which uses Google Locations services for higher accuracy. But I am glad it can work without it, although a bit slower and less accurate.
Btw, how to disable Google? Does disabling Gmaps stop all location services tracking? or the Google Search App? or is it embedded in the GMS components?
@dark_phoenix @UnicornLady @CoMaps You have to disable it in Android settings (Settings->Location->Location services->Location accuracy
Disable "Improve Location Accuracy". This will disable Google's location service entirely and phone will rely on GPS only to determine your location. You can also disable Location entirely to not even use GPS until actually needed. And to save some battery. Apart from navigation/maps, you really don't need location at all.
