When I go to check my iPhone storage, Apple Maps is taking up to 5 GB of it. I don't have any offline maps. I tried uninstalling the app, but even after that, I still see the storage being taken up as "Maps Data"

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 16
I have the exact same issue on my iPhone 12 (iOS 17.4) , Apple Maps is taking about 3GB+ and it keeps getting bigger whenever I free some storage… Consequently, my storage is full all the time, new messages and notifications won’t display sometimes and I have app crashes regularly.
I have a temporary fix for this I read from a topic here : Reset your iPhone (make sure to have a backup on iCloud) and it will fix it. But for my case the issue reoccurred after a few weeks… and I don’t have any permanent solution to this date.
Still hope it helped you

I don’t have any offline maps and routes downloaded
Do you have offline routes stored? Did you do this?....
Open the Maps app on your iPhone. Do one of the following: Touch and hold the map until a pin marker appears, then tap Download. Tap your picture or initials next to the search field, tap Offline Maps, tap Download New Map, then enter a location in the search field or tap Current Location.
