I'm still upset that Google Maps no longer tracks my location. It was very useful to be able to go back and see how often and where I had gone.
Is there another app where I can store this locally?

Google Maps still tracks my location.
The difference is they no longer store the data on their servers, it's stored on your phone (iPhone/Android)
https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6258979
That way, they can't respond to requests for that data by governments as they don't have it.
I can look on my phone and see all the places I've been today/yesterday, etc
I use this free and extremely bare bones app made by a friend: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/max-where/id1579123291. It tracks your location constantly, has a basic viewer, and lets you export to CSV. That’s about it but it’s all I need.
Check out Dawarich, it has an official iOS app and you can use a number of 3rd party mobile apps to track your data and then upload it to server: either ran on your own hardware (FOSS self-hosted) or to the Dawarich Cloud one: https://dawarich.app
Using it on daily basis
Arc and its free Arc Mini companion. iOS. Been using it since Facebook eclipsed Moves app. A decade later, it's still not as good as Moves.
I heard about dawarich, open source, didn’t have time to try it though or check the details... https://dawarich.app/
Apple Maps added a Visited Places (beta) feature recently.
Strava? :-) Half-joking, half-serious, I haven't used Strava in years, I don't remember all its capabilities.
Edit: Missed the "locally" part. Sorry no suggestions. Maybe Garmin has something?
Nope, Garmin only tracks your location when you record an activity that uses gps, which is good, frankly.
