  <title>Control location services</title>

  <p>Geolocation, or location services, uses cell tower positioning, GPS, and
  nearby Wi-Fi access points to determine your current location for use in
  setting your timezone and by applications such as <app>Maps</app>. When
  enabled, it is possible for your location to be shared over the network with
  a great deal of precision.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>Turn off the geolocation features of your desktop</title>
    <item>
      <p>Open the <gui xref="shell-introduction#activities">Activities</gui> overview and
      start typing <gui>Privacy &amp; Security</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Settings</gui><gui>Privacy &amp; Security</gui></guiseq> from the
      results. This will open the <gui>Privacy &amp; Security</gui> panel.</p>
    </item>
