You absolutely have that choice.
I have Location History turned off in my Google Account and this feature still works. It might work better if I let it use history, not sure - but it absolutely works without it. I do have Search History turned on, so I could hypothesize that it's able to use things I've searched for in the past at certain times, but it's not using my location.
- summm 6y agoHistory working at all is a more recent change. Previously, if you disabled location history it would only remember POIs that you navigated to. Not addresses. And it allowed you to add local bookmarks, but didn't let you name them. Have fun with a list with some yellow stars with GPS coordinates only. The whole thing was outright unusable for no technical reason, as if nobody at Google had tested "non-treacherous mode", or as if they on purpose sabotaged it.
