Google keeps tracking you even when you specifically tell it not to: Maps, Search won't take no for an answer

Re: Google takes revenge

Methinks turning off data and GPS may be the only way to circumvent this?

I inadvertently disabled GPS the other day via the settings shortcut on my lollipop device. I couldn't work out why Stava couldn't get a fix because it appeared as if it was not getting a signal rather than it was disabled. At one point I fired up maps for comparison. It was able to get a fix ok which set my troubleshooting efforts back until I eventually spotted what I had done
