Description

Setting up and installing new firmware, I need to rush to disable precise location before my exact location gets broadcast out to the mesh. This is insecure and not a good default. Please consider switching to a fuzzy location of 1 mile as the default.

I thought it was defaulted to off altogether. Yeah, this should be changed.

keep in mind the LoRa radio won't transmit until you change the region from UNSET, which is the factory default setting.

Yes I understand, but the next thing the radio does if it has GPS is transmit your precise location. I'm not sure how people would know, or if they would expect that behavior just from following the setup instructions. Which Is why I'm suggesting that the default is imprecise location as default, which can then be set to precise if the user wants it.
