I have a problem with the google location services wanting to know my every whereabout, what I am doing on the phone, and not to mention the drain on the battery. So I disabled the google location services on the phone... Problem is now google nav doesn't work even though GPS is turned on and any other nav prog I download works properly.
Is there a way to use google nav without enabling the google location crap?

Is there an easy way to copy/paste destination addresses into navigation apps like navigon or sygic? Neither seems to support paste function. I refuse to use Google maps. I'm open to other quality navigation programs as well like tomtom.
Thanks,

Why do you refuse to use Google maps and navigation? They very goodand you can use s-voice to say where you want to go. Simple and easy.
I have google location services disabled for privacy reasons... so google NAV doesnt' work without it. Second google maps is quarrantined bacause of the battery drain the wakelocks cause for no reason. Honestly I love google nav, but I refuse to use location services when all they need is a GPS signal, and their crappy software drains the battery. Instead of un-quarrantine maps and turning on location, I'll just use a 3rd party app.

Hello. With the latest update of google play services, everytime that I disable GPS through the quick toggle, I get a message from google play services: ''No location access... etc etc''. Very annoying because if I do that while playing Ingress, the app detect that the gps is off and close itself. The only way I managed to make this message disappear is to disable ''run in background'' for google play services through privacy guard. This could lead to missing whatsapp/telegram/other apps notifications? Or could make the batterylife worse?
I'm also having this problem. Its super annoying for the same reason. I only turn on location services when I need them. I understand what I'm doing and don't need to be pestered. is there a way to turn off this message?
Anyone know how to loosen up the access to location services per app or something?
I've had this issue when running Oreo on the S8 as well, so I think it's Oreo related. Really annoying that I'm having to turn on High Accuracy a lot more just to get location for several apps.
So basically, I'm getting no location in say, the Starbucks app, and it asks me to turn on location services (I'm already on Battery Saving, and allowing apps to access location data), and I have to do so to get any location to the app.
Hello, guys.
I had a problem with Mokee rom on my VIBE shot.
When i use any taxi apps such as: uber, careem and Karwa, the apps doesn't show maps - i get blank maps with no roads or details only location point and some taxis around.
This problem with the taxi apps only - Google maps is working well.
I tried several methods to solve, without any results:
- I deleted Google play services and Google play services framwork data and i updated them to the latest version.
- I installed Google web view.
- and I am sure that the location services is on and on high accuracy mode, and all apps has the location premission and Wifi and mobile Data access.
So, does anyone know how to fix this issue.
On my phone, when I tap the icon to turn on the GPS, there is a pop up messages that reads:
Turn on Location
Location may use sources like GPS, Wi-Fi mobile networks, and sensors...Is there a way to enable the GPS without having to share location data with Google? Is there a way to use GPS within a Google app, say Maps, without having to share location data with Google?
