That's good to know. I leave location services off on Android when I'm not using them and the possibility of a triangulation leak always nagged me a little. Not a lot, because I've never heard of any actual harm coming from it. But a little.
Location services in Android are in-phone, and they're definitely accurate and reporting to Google. I only clarified that your cell provider probably can't locate you using triangulation via your cell Signal. Turn data off, and you're fine; otherwise, Google is tracking you - and from what I've read, even if you have location services turned off.
