Google Calendar needs “Precise Location” on iPhone

At some point the Google Calendar app on my iPhone stopped letting me search for locations when editing events. I could type in text, but would get no suggestions and would have to type/paste in an entire street address for it to do anything useful. Today I looked into it and after some experimenting, it looks like it was broken because I had turned off “precise location” for that app in Privacy settings. Because, why would my calendar need to know my precise location? In any case, turning it back on seems to have fixed it. And given that I’m putting the location on an event in order to eventually navigate there using Google Maps, I guess I’m not really exposing anything new. Still frustrating.
