Ryan Petrich has released a Cydia tweak to prevent your iOS device from tracking your location and saving it to consolidated.db

Continuously clean up locationd's history data in the background.

This package installs a daemon (process that can run in the background) to clean the consolidated.db file.

No new icons are added to your homescreen. There are no options to configure.

You can install untrackerd from the Big Boss Cydia repository.

That is how it has always been. 'Hackers' have been the unsung heroes throughout the computer era. They have also been the innovators. Jobs and Gates were the quintessential hackers of their time.
