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?
Harry@dark_phoenix it's embedded in GMS, by default your location, nearby wifi, bluetooth, etc. are constantly sent to Google in the background.
The only thing you can do really is use a de-googled ROM like CalyxOS, LineageOS or Graphene
@hbond Using a de-googled rom would make me lose some apps (like govt apps, UPI and some banking ones)
