Under "Location Services" you have the option to shut off all services at the top, or can scroll down and individually enable/disable individual apps. So if you would like to use GPS for Mapquest but don't want Facebook tracking you, you can enable one and disable the other (in theory).

Once you depend on a "all-in-one" tool and that SOB goes down, you've lost every other tool that was inclusive.
I use my iPhone to help track my workouts (MapMyRun app and formerly Nike+ app), but have also found GPS tracking to be useless in many situations as I've outrun them on cloudy days or over certain terrain. And I'm not exactly a speed demon. Anymore I map out my run prior, to include mileage, and use the iPhone solely for music purposes or ... go figure ... as a phone.
