google play services would still periodically query your location, even when on gps only. it’s a privileged app so you can’t even block it from doing so.
MicroG (on lineageOS or calyxOS), or GrapheneOS’ sandboxed play services can help with that
It won’t prevent Google from tracking your location, but it might help support these alternative maps by increasing their popularity on the PlayStore and whatnot.

Disable “(improve) location accuracy” in settings and location history in Google settings (I think)
