And surely you can manually enable and disable location tracking per app, but that's way too cumbersome. Just imagine trying to start navigation while at a red light. I do this with apps like Uber and Waze. It's really not that cumbersome. When the app starts up, it will prompt you to enable location tracking, and if you say OK, it will bring you right to the setting. Then, when you're done, close out the app and find the setting again. Only set up map instructions while parked before you leave. To be honest, background location tracking on iOS is far, far worse than Android. It's really spotty, it requires the app be visibly running in the app list, and it also prompts the user to turn it off if your app uses it too much.
