+
+ <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>
