Is Change My Location safe?

Clean risk

Change My Location sends first-run geolocation coordinates to Google Maps Geocoding from its popup.

When the popup opens for a first run, it requests browser geolocation and reads latitude and longitude if the user grants access. It sends those coordinates to maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json to reverse geocode the location, then records that first-run setup is complete.
