Google’s location service & GPS support
Even when location reporting and location history are turned off,
Google periodically reports data for use by various apps from
sources such as Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and GPS to determine
your approximate location at any given time.
To turn off these services, go to
Settings > Personal > Lo-
cation services and uncheck both Google’s location service and
GPS satellites. Doing so will disable most of Google Now’s capa-
bilities as well as many other useful features of your tablet.
