You can disconnect Google Maps as a connected app in Gemini and restrict Gemini’s precise-location permission, but there is no single switch that prevents every use of location-related information. Gemini may still use public Maps information, infer a general area, or receive location through another Google service. Use the controls below according to what you want to stop.
Disconnect Google Maps in Gemini
Connected Apps is the direct Gemini control for disconnecting an app. Google says the apps available can vary by device, country, language, app, and account type. Follow the route for the version you use:

Turn off precise location for Gemini on the web
At gemini.google.com, open Menu > Settings & help and check the location indicator at the bottom of the menu. Google says a blue dot means the web app has access to and is using precise location; a gray dot means it is not. The menu’s Update location option can enable precise-location access.

This restricts the Google app’s location permission, but Google cautions that Gemini may still receive precise location from another Google service, such as Google Maps, even when the Google app’s precise-location setting is off. The Google Gemini Apps Privacy Hub also says Gemini may use a general location based on your IP address or the Home and Work addresses in your Google Account. Precise device location and general location are therefore different controls and sources.
What disconnecting Maps does—and does not—stop
Google distinguishes personal Maps content from public Maps information. Disconnecting an app in Connected Apps controls that app connection; it does not stop Gemini from using public information from Google Maps. Google says Gemini automatically uses public information from Maps and other services, and that Keep Activity must be on for Gemini to use public Maps information. Public Google Search information may remain available when Keep Activity is off or you are signed out.

That is separate from access to personal information in a connected service: Google says Gemini will not access personal information or content in the listed services without permission. See Google’s Connected Apps guidance for computers or its Android guidance for the distinction.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Keep Activity is not a location-off switch
Keep Activity governs Gemini activity and some features, not every location source or Google service. Turning it off affects chat history and Connected Apps availability, and it does not change data collected by other Google services. Google says conversations may still be stored for up to 72 hours while Keep Activity is off to provide the service and process feedback. Other Google Account settings, including Web & App Activity or Location History, may continue to save information through other services.
