    Just spinning off Android would shake up map software. It’s how they get traffic and other data.

      Many apps for Android rely on Google Play Services which I don’t know exactly what it’s doing but collecting data is a good bet.

      Do we end up with worse maps then?

        By my understanding google play services is basically just shared libraries and APIs for doing stuff and not as tied into Google specifically as its name might suggest
