Google Maps search history without "Web & App Activity"?

Q: Is it still possible to have "Web & App Activity" turned off, but also have history of previously searched places in Google Maps?

This was possible until recently (Pixel 8), and came back this week for a few days, but now my history is empty again with a button trying to get me to turn on privacy cancer.

(Yes I use OSMAnd and Organic Maps when I can already.)

Just enter some country name, search, close the app and start it again to check. For me it works, but I have updates off for it.
