“One more reason why my phone is in airplane mode when carrying it on my bike.”

I thought you can still be tracked in airplane mode..

You can. The difference is that the phone isn’t transmitting. GPS does not require transmission and in many cases the Android phone carefully remembers where you’ve been in airplane mode and sends a history to Google when you take it out of airplane mode.

I thought it turns off all your transceivers. I don’t use bluetooth either.
