    There are very few cases I can think of for location data more precise than a postal code. Active navigation is the only one that occurs immediately.

    Most apps that collect location data are doing so because they can, not because they really need it for anything. Most of the time, verifying that a user is within the country that they’re supposed to be should be enough for geolocation security.
