Should I enable WIFI scanning / Bluetooth scanning / Network Location under setting->location->location services?

Which one would help me navigate inside a building or underground using open source maps?

I haven't tested yet, does google map requires any of those location services enabled to work? Should I just use google map in vanadium?

thanks a lot

Remember when phones had that insane super advanced tech that could guide anyone anywhere, even offline?

Seriously, why doesn't the compass exist anymore?

I have never turned on location anything on grapheme.

On my other phone I have also uninstalled google location services/history, WiFi scanning, Bluetooth unknown tracker, etc.

If I get lost in a building... I ask someone.

Uh, most? do have a compass, mine does. Needs an app installed to use of course.

what about driving? most of the times the connection isn't good enough to support Navigation when driving.
