None that they want to show you. I'm sure they still have the data and use it silently.


Absolutely. I generally don’t use Google Maps except as a fallback for when Apple maps isn't giving me what I’m looking for.


Based on what data?


The wifi and cell towers your phone can see, so even without using GPS. If you enable the location services of google, it keeps a history which is typically within 50 meters, within a few minutes accurate (at least in a city).

What google tracks if you disable location services, I don't know.
