Why are there two folders for google and maps? And does the google folder with a blue folder lock have to have precise location on?

Does it matter if the secure google folder has location on? I never use secure folder for that app.

No, it doesn't matter. So don't allow location, and you're fine. If you don't use an app in secure folder and change permissions, it's not going to effect the same app outside of it. My devices are set up, if I don't use apps in secure folder, they will go into deep sleep.
