Pocket watch. Isn't that the intended purpose of the small pocket?

If you use an online service to upload which towers you see, and get an approximate location as a response, then yes, it could be just ad bad from a privacy perspective. What these open databases allow is the possibility to download the whole tower database to your device, and then do the lookups locally.

To add a little more confusion, there are two words in Catalan for it. The map says "Pistatxo", which is not wrong, but the synonym I and many people around me use is "festuc", which coincidentally starts with F, so there goes your political border theory.. or not!

I'm running exactly that, with zero issues. I also have a secondary profile with Google Services Framework on it for the 2 apps I use that absolutely require it. It works great. Seriously, I'm never going back to a stock Android phone after this.

That's what they are! I have a box full of leftover parts from years of home repairs, and I frequently store caps of opposite genders screwed together like this.
