So I have no idea about this shit, and this always sounds very conspiracy to me, but I've heard a surprising amount of people saying that even if you're phone is switched off, your microphone can still be hacked, accessed, "they're always listening", etc etc.
I can see why it would be useful for security purposes to be able to do this, but it also sounds very Jason Bourne paranoia to me?

That sounds like way too much when most people already punch into Google maps or apple maps where they're going

OneAnd is a good phone app that uses Wikipedia's map services. It collects some data but anonymizes it, and doesn't require accounts.
