The phone can still be tracked after turning off the GPS function

GPS is the abbreviation of Global PosiTIoning System (Global Positioning System) in English, and is currently the most commonly used positioning and navigation system. GPS started in 1958 as a project of the US military. It was put into use in 1964. By 1994, the constellation of 24 GPS satellites with a global coverage of 98% had been deployed. Almost all smartphones are now equipped with GPS services. As long as the GPS is turned on, we can use the mobile phone to navigate, take photos with location information, and use some cool mobile applications related to our location. In addition, GPS can also help monitor the vehicle's operating route, the location of field staff, etc.

When the mobile phone GPS service is turned on, and the GPS positioning information is transmitted through the wireless network, the mobile phone can be tracked. If the mobile phone has the GPS service turned off, can it be tracked? The answer is yes, but some conditions are needed.

GPS is just one of the technologies that the mobile phone uses to realize the positioning function. It can also be used to locate the mobile phone through communication base stations and Wi-Fi hotspots. At present, the most commonly used positioning technology in various mobile phone positioning software is GPS positioning technology and base station positioning.

Q

The general principle of base station positioning is: when the mobile phone is turned on, the mobile phone searches for signals from different communication base stations near the location to obtain the TOA (TIme of Arrival, time of arrival) or TDOA (TIme Difference of Arrivalm, arrival time difference) from the mobile phone to different communication base stations According to the measurement result and the latitude and longitude coordinates of the base station, a triangulation algorithm is generally used to calculate the location of the mobile phone. The actual position estimation algorithm needs to consider the positioning of multiple base stations (3 or more), so the algorithm is much more complicated. Generally speaking, the more base stations the mobile phone searches for, the higher the measurement accuracy and the higher the positioning performance.

Similarly, if the mobile phone has Wi-Fi Internet access enabled, and the latitude and longitude position of the Wi-Fi hotspot is known, the location of the mobile phone can also be calculated. When we turn off the GPS, or in the room (GPS does not work), we can still use some mobile map software to locate, this is the principle. However, due to technical differences, the accuracy of positioning via base stations and Wi-Fi is worse than that of GPS.

To realize the tracking of mobile phones, the cooperation of mobile phones is necessary. In other words, the mobile phone needs to transmit the location's latitude and longitude information to the tracker through the wireless network. As long as the phone is not connected to the network (base station or Wi-Fi), it cannot be tracked even if the GPS is turned on. Conversely, if the mobile phone only turns off the GPS service and continues to be connected to the communication network (base station or Wi-Fi), it can still be tracked.
