  • Anecdotally, my phone without Google Play services has a horrible time obtaining a GPS fix, so I suspect without GPlay it’s only using raw GPS, but I’ve not bothered to actually dig into it.

    If you look at an app that shows satellites being recieved, it’s pretty cool to see how sensitive the GPS signal is to objects. Inside, maybe I’ll get one or two satellites near a window. But then I step outside, and see the list rapidly grow. I think my degoogled lineageos still has an assisted GPS option, though I haven’t tried it
