Thanks for sharing this post!

I installed maps.me to give it a try... Very surprised that one of the settings is "Use Google Play services to determine your current location"

Because the location provider from Play Services is an alternative to having the GPS turned on and gives an approximate location. There are some replacements like this by Mapzen https://github.com/lostzen/LOST

Depending on where you live (like the US) your telco is happily selling of data. So unless you have your phone in airplane mode your location is out there.
