Is there a way to get around square tracking my location? It uses up most of my verizon data plan.

I'm going to assume you're running iOS 

 

maps data would be data used by maps.

 

location tracking is under cellular - system services - time and location.

Square uses a tiny tiny bit of data. while webpages and photos are tens of megabytes, all these are kilobytes.

 

Signing in to Square Register ~ 8 kb of data
Declined payments ~ 4 kb of data
Completed payments ~ 10 kb of data
Issuing a refund ~ 4 kb of data
Resending a receipt ~ 4 kb of data

I see a lot of maps data useage. I understand this to be Square tracking my location continuously.

I'm still confused by your answer because I cannot find the sequence you mentioned.

Settings app on iphone

 

then click cellular

then scroll and click system services

then you'll see time and location but that is the lump of all apps using your location.

 

you can see the data that the Square app uses under

Settings

Cellular

I use a laptop, not an i-phone, to use the dashboard etc. I'm already so clumsy with technology I'm reluctant to download an app on a phone.
