9. I was consulted. Every time some app wants to use location services

I get asked again. It's rare for me to add apps to my phone. I have all the ones I need. Some do use location services, which is why they are on on my phone. Google Maps, for example. I don't always tether my phone to my car, but if I'm going somewhere that's unfamiliar, I do, and use Android Auto and Google Maps to get turn-by-turn directions. Normally, I've already checked the route on my desktop computer, but Google Maps will reroute me if I get lost or decide to take a different route.

I like Google's localization features when I search for things, too, so I just leave the location services on.

If an app asks me if it can use location services, I ask myself why it wants to do that, and answer accordingly. Same with websites and things like notifications. I am asked, and I choose.

I knew that my phone had GPS capabilities when I chose it. I like those features, and used them. I even checked my car's speedometer using those apps. It's off by 1 mph at 70 mph. It's good to know that.
