It also removes the custom fonts and the wrong tooltips claiming that the map would be re-centered automatically. The unused label for the fuzzy location description goes away as well, although I plan to add it back at some point with reverse geocoding information.

I favor this for several reasons: You get control over GPS and see what is installed. In case more than one plugin is available, you can switch between them. You can disable GPS, which is most important on embedded devices (GPS drains the battery).
