I don't know what you mean about making my life harder. I don't see what I have to gain by using location services outside the rare moments I need it. I'm gaining privacy by not keeping it on.
- Inconel 8y agoYou're probably gaining significant battery life as well.
- kuhhk 8y agoI think you’re fortunate to not need it, but I lived in an unfamiliar place for a few months and I used my map apps to identify the best routes (public transit, biking, should I walk, or should I Uber?) nearly 3-4 times a day. Turning it off/on would be difficult, but I do set most apps to only allow location services during use... but the maps I have set to always. I also don’t have the Facebook app installed
- Scoundreller 8y agoThe alternative is to keep location on (while in use), but download offline maps. No idea if the app phones home with all historical location data if you re-enable data though... Maybe that’s why Google likes to expire it’s offline maps ?
- emj 8y agoOsmAnd and MapsWithMe are good apps that you can use offline maps on indefinetly once downloaded. They use Openstreetmap of course.
- BurningFrog 8y ago> I don't know what you mean about making my life harder You're spending time and effort turning this on and off. The rest of us don't.
- astronautjones 8y agoWhat are you going to do with the additional ~5 minutes that not spending that time and effort has added to your life?
