In System Settings, “Location” should be part of “Security & Privacy”.
“Nokia HERE terms and conditions” should open a dialog displaying the terms and conditions, same as the first-run setup.
“Let apps access this location:” should list only currently-installed apps that have ever requested access to location data (or “None requested” if none have).
Whenever “Let the phone detect your location:” is set to “Not at all”, the “Let apps access this location:” label and list should be insensitive, and the switches for each app should be off, regardless of the underlying permission, so that there is no confusion about whether they are accessing your location. If you later choose to let the phone detect your location, the switches for each app should return to their previous states.
“Location access” indicator
The location access indicator should not be present until implementation of a list of apps that have recently used your location.
