I use Apple Maps. In theory, it’s not tracking me. I guess I have no way to prove that, but at least they’re on the record saying they anonymize the data from it and don’t correlate routes to people.

Edit: here is some more info, took a second to find the link.

Maybe the app doesn't but your phone does lol. Literally everything you do whether it's Apple or Android.

The idea is to reduce tracking. I still want to be plygged in the grid 😀
