This week, Google Maps could not find me, and it seemed really pissed off. I switched all of the location-access buttons on my iPhone from “While Using the App” to “Ask Next Time,” causing my most useful app to launch a series of increasingly desperate pop-up entreaties, begging me to make my life easier by letting it automatically locate me (rather than giving it access to my location only when I type in where I am and where I want to go). I cannot imagine its stalker rage if I had clicked “Never” allow the app to track my location.
