Re: I wonder

It is possible for all NEWER phones to recieve a signal from the network to FORCE a GPS fix, even if user functions are off, but it is not continuous tracking , this has been used in several DEA and other federal cases (probably got more pubisity then they wanted on that, the cartels and major terror groups are now well aware, note that Bin Laden allowed NO phones
GPS is a battery eater on most phones, has to due with the processing and map updates, so many turn it off unless needed, less of a problem with newer faster CPUs on top end phones now.
If you're are going to have a "burner" phone take the battery out between calls and before you toss it or it's a beacon saying "I was here"
