I'm still upset that Google Maps no longer tracks my location. It was very useful to be able to go back and see how often and where I had gone.
Is there another app where I can store this locally?

I use this free and extremely bare bones app made by a friend: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/max-where/id1579123291. It tracks your location constantly, has a basic viewer, and lets you export to CSV. That’s about it but it’s all I need.
Check out Dawarich, it has an official iOS app and you can use a number of 3rd party mobile apps to track your data and then upload it to server: either ran on your own hardware (FOSS self-hosted) or to the Dawarich Cloud one: https://dawarich.app
Using it on daily basis
I heard about dawarich, open source, didn’t have time to try it though or check the details... https://dawarich.app/
Nope, Garmin only tracks your location when you record an activity that uses gps, which is good, frankly.
Google Maps still tracks my location.
The difference is they no longer store the data on their servers, it's stored on your phone (iPhone/Android)

That way, they can't respond to requests for that data by governments as they don't have it.
I can look on my phone and see all the places I've been today/yesterday, etc
