Google wants everyone to have location services permanently enabled, gotcha.
- Lol they already have your location data unless you had airplane mode turned on 24/7
  
  lol... no. There's a difference between Approximate and Precise location information: 3 sq.km vs 3m. Think suburb vs room.
  With location services enabled, you're providing the latter.
  
  Since the phone knows what cell towers it's close to and signal strength, google can use this data to triangulate your location
