How do I stop Google maps knowing my location when I use the camera app
I have geotags turned off yet everytime I take a photo Google maps opens up and logs my location. This is a privacy issue and I hate it. I know that I could go nuclear and turn off location for everything but I don't want to do this.

It's a "feature" if you ever uploaded a photo of a location in Google maps.
Google assume you want to upload every photo of every place you visit so bombard you with reminders.
Go into maps and then find the menu for "my additions" then disable the service in there.

All of them. Apps will ask again if they really need it. Or crash.
