Coarse location means, your device will try to get a location based on a triangulation of the connected base stations. This will happen *always* as long as your device is connected to a mobile network, even if you don't use any app at all! To avoid this you need to turn off mobile networking completely, which means remove the SIM and do not let you device connect to a mobile network at all. -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
