<h3><a href="#sandboxed-google-play-location-sharing">Location sharing</a></h3>
<p>Location sharing in Google Maps is implemented in Google Play services. It
requires enabling both the Location permission with "Allow all the time" and the
Physical activity permission for Google Play services. Our location rerouting
feature reimplementing the Google Play location service using the OS location
service does not apply to Google Play services itself, so Google Play services
won't use the OS network location service. You can use the instructions above
for enabling network location via Google Play if you want this. You could
continue using rerouting for other apps or disable it to avoid needing 2
separate network location services enabled.</p>
