Can you expand on this more? I'm getting more and more interested in cutting ties with Google altogether. I've been using bing for the last few years now. Not much better, but at least I get paid for the info they glean from my searches. I rooted my galaxy S4 way back and was happy to finally get rid of all the bloatware and I'd like to do that again with my current phone, but ridding myself of Google location services is also really appealing.
For degoogling i remove stock os that comes with my Android device. I buy phones which have good support for custom roms (like nothing, oneplus, pixel). You can find the custom roms on xda threads and telegram groups for your device.
After installing the custom rom i root it with magisk and flash minmicrog package which installs microG (oss version of play services) and with it comes mozilla Location services.
You can install minmicrog package on stock rom also.
