Should I enable WIFI scanning / Bluetooth scanning / Network Location under setting->location->location services?

Which one would help me navigate inside a building or underground using open source maps?

I haven’t tested yet, does google map requires any of those location services enabled to work? Should I just use google map in vanadium?

thanks a lot

      thanks a lot

      for those who have trouble understanding this

      1. Passive Tracking (Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Beacons)

        Your phone constantly searches for nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.

        Retailers place Wi-Fi routers or Bluetooth beacons in stores to detect these signals.

        Each device has a unique MAC address (though modern phones often randomize this to prevent persistent tracking).

        These devices log when and where a phone is detected, creating a record of customer movement.

      2. What They Can Track:

        When a customer enters or exits the store

        How long they stay

        Which areas of the store they visit

        Repeat visits (if the MAC address isn’t randomized)

        Whether they’ve visited other locations (if the same system is deployed across multiple stores)
