iOS remembers that stuff too. It just stores it device-side and doesn't use it for advertising.

Edit: Turns out it doesn't actually provide a location history visualization like GMaps does - it only shows "significant locations" - but to my knowledge there's no technical reason it couldn't do so

You don't have to save all the user's location data to a central server for the local device to remember your common navigation request endpoints.

You don't have to send any data to a central server at all.
