Assisted GNSS is pretty handy. My phones gets my approximate location very fast. If I want to plan a route from where I am, I don’t have to wait a couple minutes for the GNSS signal to be received (if I’m in a location where I can receive it).

But obviously, waiting a couple minutes before starting a journey is acceptable to avoid being tracked by Google, so I disabled the Enhanced Location mode on my Android phone.

Is there a private alternative for A-GNSS?

    I guess so. I didn’t think it’s only for MicroG (although I guess it makes sense or I’d have looked it up sooner).
