Is it actually an advantage, if you don't make use of it?

Do you ever check traffic near home while you're using your mobile device?
 <https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3572114,-121.9626943,12.68z>

Do you want to maintain your location privacy while checking that traffic?
 <https://www.google.com/maps/@37.3572114,-121.9626943,12z/data=!5m1!1e1>

I often check traffic using that Google web URL for my local Silicon Valley
area where at a glance I can easily tell the red from the green zones.

Since I'm familiar with my home area, a simple "color" glance tells me
which direction has less traffic (e.g., up 85 to 101 or up 880 to 101).

Why should I give Google my (so-called) "precise location" (or even my
course location) just to check the colors in that local traffic report?

With mock location (aka GPS fake location spoofing) we can tap on that web
URL to Google's web browser map interface to see Silicon Valley traffic.

And Google has no idea where we are (Firefox also, if we were to use it).

Note that "precise location" requires spoofing Wi-Fi AP to report nothing.

Not typically on a city-scale like that, the hotspot will likely alter 
during my journey, but I do use 'satnav' even on journeys I'm familiar 
with, to allow it to give me re-routing choices along the way.

I've been using a similar web url for "home" and for "hospital" for years.
All the while using lexa as the best app for the location spoofing part.

It asks if you want to use the Google Maps app but you just say no.

Then it brings up Google Maps in the web browser which works perfect.

Google doesn't know where you are but you can still see all the traffic.

Andy,

Yes.  Just not for you.

And why did you replace "would be useful" with "advantage" ?    There are 
useful things which do not give you any advantage - as there is noone to win 
or lose from.
