I am not oblivious to it, but even if you turn off location on your phone they can still get your coordinates by prompting the OS for it if the app makes a request. You can still be triangulated.

Maybe it does not store it locally on the device like iPhones do, but if you are going to use a Cell Phone, you can and are going to be tracked.

That's my point.
