A report from Associated Press showed that Google Maps, Weather ,and  Search is still tracking your location for purposes such as advertisement. On Google’s website it is stated that “You can turn off Google Location History at any time. With Location History off, the places you go are no longer stored.”  However, an investigation by AP shows that this is untrue.
