When you're using web maps, you do not control the software - they request location, you give access to it (because you want your maps to show where you are), and you don't control that location information once it leaves your phone.

You don't need webmaps. OSM data are free to download and render locally. Navigation devices have offline maps, typically.

GPS is passive. Ideally they would just know which place you're requesting data about.
