GrapheneOS Location Services (lemmy.world)

Should I enable WIFI scanning / Bluetooth scanning / Network Location under setting->location->location services?

Which one would help me navigate inside a building or underground using open source maps?

I haven't tested yet, does google map requires any of those location services enabled to work? Should I just use google map in vanadium?

thanks a lot

The thing is the Open Source mapping service doesn't seems to work inside buildings. Does enabling those options help with that?

also How is CoMaps compared to osmand and organic maps?

thanks a lot

CoMaps is a recent fork of Organic Maps. So those two are pretty similar at the moment in terms of functionality. Osmand I would say has a lot more features and customisation options, but Organic/CoMaps is faster and more responsive.
