I sense op feels entitled to use free Google services and dictate how their product should work. There are many arguments why using GPS alone is both battery intensive and also more fragile as it won't work near tall buildings, indoors and takes time to localize. But at the end of the day if you don't trust some corporation you can stop using their free services when there are alternatives around. There's Apple maps, Bing maps, Here maps, etc.
