What really got me mad was when these jerks tied saved places to enabling location history. I used google maps as a sort of address book starring the homes of friends, family, work locations, interesting places, etc. One day I turned off all the tracking and location history crap and had zero issues. Then one day I couldn't see any of my saved locations. What? I did some research and found out that a recent update now requires you to enable location history. WTF! Their brain damaged logic is the location you saved was done in the past so it stands to reason that it's part of history! Of course that's not really the reason, the reason is to force people to turn location history back on. Bullet, meet foot.
