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 see. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/7811918/google-is-tracking-you-even-with-airplane-mode-turned-on/ Applicable if GPS is ON, seems it dumps that collected data back at Google. Then the solution is true Airplane Mode all radio OFF including GPS, however thats impractical when having to use offline maps, then a network filter via Blokada/DNS66 can be enabled before the next internet connection, effectively nullifying the exfiltration.
