Even if you do this. If you drive with a cell phone. Even a Nokia or a brick phone. You are still being tracked. Mobile phone always pings. Pinging to towers you are always geolocated.
Fake Traveler (Fake your location) - https://f-droid.org/packages/cl.coders.faketraveler
That fakes GPS, not tower connections.
I remember when a phone was something you used to talk to people.
Airplane Mode is the Cellular radio OFF switch.
Spoofing GPS is useful for localization info from the web or picking a spot for apps to fixate at.
I have read that airplane mode continues logging and sends the data when connected. The GPS soft key, who knows what that does. I would not actually expect it to stop all location processing.
It would be trivial to have two location fields - what the hardware says and what the software like fake traveler says.
Still, i frequently leave off gps and mobile data, and leave data saver and battery saver on. It probably does little good.
I am waiting for Mobian to become done enough for everyday use.
I carry my flip phone in a faraday bag. No shit.
Yep, just like these.
Yep, At least in USA. In 1998 a law was passed to make sure ALL cell phones had GPS because of "emergency (911) calls". That didnt turn into the most vast surveillance network ever somehow.... cough.
