Will it let me control when my location is shared with Google? Where I am, my carrier already knows my name, full address, and credit card information.
- Not too sure about that it you installed gapps
The carrier can still roughly triangulate your position based on the signal strength. Not much you can do on that front but to go in airplane mode if you don't want to be tracked through the cell towers.
- They don't even need to do triangulation nowadays, tower has direction and distance, because the way how 4G/5G work. 5G also has MIMO (meaning one burst of data to you carry data to other clients in same direction).
- Airplane mode, always!
  
  *Faraday often imo
- Any source for that?
This is unintelligible. If you're connected to a cell tower then they know where you are.
Whereas if you're on airplane mode on a VPN, then they may think you're on a different Continent.
I'm going to link my comment from an earlier post of this on a different community.

- yeah and I don't even understand the conversation around accuracy. Even vaguely knowing what im about and doing is to much.
  
  Time to leave your personal spying gadget at home lol
It should let you choose what location should be sent. Flood their data with junk.
- Sounds like a good way to get charged for roamimg
  
  Roaming happens when you connect to a different cell network than the one you have a contract with, not when your location data says you are in certain places.
