Google keeps track of your traffic history

I don't even have to say how useful and necessary GPS is. Google has used it wisely and implemented it in its services and devices, as well as in the Android system itself. For example, we can use Google maps only as a city map, or as navigation. But what if we don't use either? Google still records your movements.
