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.
