     Nope. Google Maps doesn't *show* *you* (or someone else?) where you   
   are. There's no proof that *Google* doesn't know where you are.   
      
     In modern Android versions, you can no longer really turn off all   
   location determination. All you can do is limit what *your* *apps* can   
   do, but you can not prevent other Google/Android components to determine   
   your location. You can only 'trust' Google to do no evil. Good luck with   
   that!

     In the latter case, was 'Mobile data' off or on?
