And you can also not log into Google Maps. It still lets you use map and navigation etc. But it is denied any explicit methods of identifying you and is left with only probabilistic methods (i.e. you are searching from the same network and therefore same public IP as another device that is known to Google as being associated with your account).

This would only be true if you're using Google maps through a privacy respecting web browser like mull.

If you're using the Google maps app, it has hardware identifiers, and can uniquely identify the phone. No guessing required
