I stopped using Google Maps a few years back. I received a notification on my phone that a store I was near was having a sale. It was clear that something was leaking my location, and that was being used to push ads to me through Android itself.
A little investigation revealed that the culprit was Google Maps. I uninstalled it at that point and never looked back.
