At this point I cannot believe that anyone in Tech would have a Google account being that they should know better. Anyone could be made to look guilty when the authorities have enough data.
Adding this for the people who keep downvoting this:

"Google – one of the largest and most influential organizations in the modern world – is filled with ex-CIA agents. Studying employment websites and databases, MintPress has ascertained that the Silicon Valley giant has recently hired dozens of professionals from the Central Intelligence Agency in recent years."
We are imprisoned by our addiction to convenience. I am in the middle of dealing with this now, switching my services where I can: dumb phone, linux laptop, swisscows, openstreetmap and an old Garmin GPS, and just being OK with uncertainty.
> old Garmin GPS
I want this. Which model did you get and does it have up-to-date maps?
I have Garmin Drive 51. Yes, up to date maps. The only PITA is that you need windows or MacOS to update the system and the maps. I have a windows clone I put on my laptop every few months to accomplish this.
Just use Osmand on an old smartphone without a SIM. It's less worse than old Garmins and map updates are constant. Keep your system clock accurate for fast GPS lock.
