In System Settings, “Location” should be part of “Security & Privacy”.

If Nokia HERE is installed, the first item should be “GPS only (less accurate)”. If not, it should be simply “GPS only”, and the second item should not be present.

Nokia HERE terms and conditions” should navigate to a child “Nokia HERE” screen displaying the terms and conditions, with the only navigation being the standard Back button back to the “Location” screen.

“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.
