Apple Maps - Private Navigation

Ladies and Gents,

Is there a way to use Apple maps for navigation without being tracked or generating a location history?

Thanks,

Hi there,

You can disable the extra telemetry features of Apple Maps by checking out this page here:

https://support.apple.com/en-mide/HT210691

Otherwise Apple Maps really doesn't do all that much to track you. Because of the nature of how GPS and Maps apps work, some tracking is required for everything to actually work properly, but Apple states what they do to minimize that at this page here:
