This guide walks you through every layer, from disabling system location services and Play hooks to blocking network leaks and scrubbing metadata. If you want true location #privacy on #GrapheneOS, this is the full teardown.

Good stuff, but don't forget the cell towers log your location just from you being connected to them. Also, surrounding phones report your WiFi Mac address and location to the Big Tech Borgs. It takes a physical off switch on the WiFi and on the cell modem, which means people can't call you, and as soon as you turn them on the Sentinels have your location and will come after you.

What do you mean other phones report other devices mac id? How would that happen if location is off, airplane mode on, randomized mac and no sim?

They see your WiFi presence and report it. Random Mac addresses help fight that, but if there is enough meta data on your phone they'll instantly link any mac address to you. Cell modems still connect and talk to towers without SIMs. It's a 911 feature. If Airplane mode really does disable everything, great. I don't trust Goggle given their history and recent lawsuit that showed they still tracked phones even when location was turned off.
good read , keep it on airplane mode is a easy way to avoid tracking location .
