Windows service for application access to downloaded maps. This service is started on-
demand by application accessing downloaded maps.
Mapping technologies can unwillingly reveal your location to attackers and other software
that picks up the information. In addition, automatic downloads of data from 3rd-party
sources should be minimized when not needed. Therefore this service should not be
needed in high security environments.
