    Question about Location Services

    I'm curious about Location Services. If it's turned off can an approximate location still be determined? Specifically, if you send a text or someone sends you a text can your approximate location be determined e.g. thru trace of IP address or something like that?

    Maps constantly using Location Services

    Has anyone else noticed that since Catalina, Maps is now continually triggering Location Services, even if the app hasn't been used? The little directional arrow in the menu bar keeps appearing and disappearing about every 30 seconds.
