What matters depends on the use, but some points apply everywhere. How good is the map data in the area you care about, and how current? Can maps be downloaded for offline use, and how large are they? How reliable is traffic information, and where does it come from? For cycling and walking, it matters whether routes suit the mode of travel rather than shortening a car route. Then the data question, which weighs especially heavily here: location histories are movement profiles — it is worth knowing whether they are stored, for how long and what for.
