It is, to get back coordinates you have to use Google's location API, which tells Google where you are. That's why the actual app doesn't matter to me (a privacy advocate) because no matter how private your app is, Google will always have my location. Nowadays I just keep the GPS off unless I need to use Maps, hopefully that does something.
