Google Wallet changes: Maps and store addresses require location settings


However, turning it on won’t add maps to old transactions without location data.

9to5Google reports that Google Wallet on Android now asks for location access if you want receipts that include store addresses and maps. (Image credit: 9to5Google) Switching this option on won’t update past transactions with maps or addresses since it only kicks in for new payments going forward. 9to5 notes that no new features have been added to Google Wallet receipts; the change simply requires location permission for the existing map and address details to be displayed.
