If you have an active cellular connection, you cannot really limit data collection, including the tracking and selling of your location data.
GPS on a secure device is the answer. Also read my long explanation. I recommend using 2 devices and identities to avoid similar issues
Assuming by secure device you mean one with a removable battery or no cellular modem at all.
That's really overkill for my threat model. For me it's a device with a degoogled FOSS ROM, no proprietary software, no sim card and with correct settings
