This article explains how to disable Google location tracking. The information applies to services such as Google Maps and apps for Google's Android platform.
How to Prevent Google from Tracking Your Location
Google Maps keeps a history of the places you visit in your Google Maps timeline, even when the app isn't open.
Your timeline syncs with Google Photos and other apps, which can help you remember when and where you took photos and videos. But if someone gains access to your Google Account, they could find information you might not want them to know.
If you have an Android or iOS device, Google keeps track of where you are to help some apps (like Google Maps) determine your location. You can turn off location services, but some apps may not work properly.
