Huh? Google Maps works fine for me despite having disabled location services. It nags me nearly everytime I open the app to "enable location services to proceed", making it sound as though it is required, but I just click "No" and get on with it. Haven't noticed any missing features.
- jkaplowitz 9y agoOne example of a Google consumer service that needs location history is the Google Assistant. on my Google Pixel phone, that has fully replaced the older non-Assistant OK Google system which didn't require location history.
