IPHONE Maps tracking strip club visits

Not sure if anyone of you use your maps a lot on your IPHONE but I do to check traffic when I'm traveling. I noticed on certain days when I go to the strip club that it now recognizes the time and day of the week and automatically appears which kind of freaks me out. Anyone know of a way to have my phone stop tracking these visits...

Do you use the GPS feature when driving to the club, perhaps this may be doing it?
I have tried turning off GPS/Wifi but as salty.nutz stated even with GPS/Wifi off your phone still can get location data from the car.
I have been thinking about testing temporarily disabling the timeline. But I really don't want to lose the old timeline data.
There is also a way to turn on android developer settings and then force the phone to have a false GPS. I might look sometime and see if there is an app that assist with this because then you could keep the timeline but have a false location.
Turning off GPS doesnt work, it does still get location but it gets it from other places. Your car isn't one of them (at least for me), but it gets a good approximate from the cell towers and nearby wifi access points that google knows the location of. eg, if I'm near the club's wifi with my GPS on now google knows where that wifi is & if you're near it it knows where you are if you're near it too. I usually leave it on for me to be close enough where I can tell where I went, but not so close that I have google telling me how many times/how long I spend in a SC. Although I may find that info interesting one day and I have no one to answer to about it now, I don't like the idea of that data existing and potentially being used against me in some unforeseen way later so I make a bit of effort to minimize it.
Probably not a problem, but the boss may double-check your expense report.
My last 3 company vehicles had GPS in them. Drove them many times to clubs and other places I shouldn't be. Never had a problem in 6 years Biggest thing is to do your job well and have the trust of your boss. I also had access to the tracking software, so I could check the other guys, including the boss. :)
Clearing history now.
I just checked my phone and my past locations can easily be determined. I did not know that it did this! uh oh!
Always turned my personal phone off and the club phone on and vice versa depending on where my travels took me during the day back then.
