Disable "Approximate Location" in Systems Manager > Devices > "Device name"

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask if there is a way to disable the map view of the approximate device location.
Since we have a seperate profile for BYOD I wanted to fully deactive the function to track even the approximate location. I even tested around with revoking the GPS permissions within the phone, but it still points out the vague location through the WiFi connection with Meraki APs.

I would appreciate any form of help regarding this topic.

Disabling/removing the map would be a feature request. If you want to go thermo-nuclear, you could use uBlock Origin or another ad-block to just hide the DIV the map shows in. It's ###ReactPccClientLocation
