Google’s location service & GPS support

Even when location reporting and location history are turned off, Google periodically reports data for use by various apps from sources such as Wi-Fi, mobile networks, and GPS to determine your approximate location at any given time.

To turn off these services, go to Settings > Personal > Lo- cation services and uncheck both Google’s location service and GPS satellites. Doing so will disable most of Google Now’s capa- bilities as well as many other useful features of your tablet.
