I'm very picky when it comes to which apps have access to my location, and Apple Maps' location access is set to "While Using" - but I _rarely_ use Apple Maps (maybe once every 6 months, by mistake). Further, if I ever did use Apple Maps at one time, I always quit any app after I'm finished using it.
So how does Apple Maps know where I'm going? Mind you, while I do tend to go to the gym on Saturdays, this morning was the earliest I've _ever_ been to the gym (by a long shot). If I've never used or had the app open in the background while going to the gym, how does Apple Maps know that I could even be _possibly_ going to the gym? Especially given how early it was in the morning?
I'm quite creeped out.

If you don't like this behavior you should turn off Frequent Locations specifically under Settings> Privacy> Location Services> System Services> Frequent Locations
PS It may be now called Significant Locations in the latest iOS versions...
