 Geolocation, or location services, uses cell tower positioning, GPS, and
 nearby Wi-Fi access points to determine your current location for use in
 setting your timezone and by applications such as Maps. When enabled, it
 is possible for your location to be shared over the network with a great
 deal of precision.

 Turn off the geolocation features of your desktop
 Open the Activities overview and start typing Privacy.

 Click on Privacy to open the panel.

 Switch the Location Services switch to off.

 To re-enable this feature, set the Location Services switch to on.
