I think the default setting is to only send GPS info only during a 911 call.
There may be a law stating that all new phones must have GPS on during a 911
call.

Even without GPS they can track you by seeing what towers you connect to and
when.

So keep your phone off if you don't want to be tracked or wrap your phone in
tin foil, it will definitely jam the signal, but you won't get any calls
