Literally all of these can be avoided except the external apparati like the Flock cameras, which is why they're such a big deal.

Getting tracked by your map application or OS platform can be countered by using an open source ROM and a local map provider like OpenStreetMap. Gtting tracked by the car itself can oftentimes be prevented by unplugging the telematics unit (or its antennas) or bypassing it with special cables. But there's nothing you can legally do to protect against the Flock cameras, without ignoring the law entirely and going around town with an angle grinder.
