GPS is a listen only system, ie. you get signals from the GPS satelites and solve for your position on the fly. So for your company to be able to check where you are they would have to have some sort of connection with your phone and your phone would be sending out your position.
Im sure you could call Bell and ask them directly if this was the case. You cant disable the ability to check where your phone is completely in most cases becuase 911 and safety issues. Either way i wouldnt be surprised if this was the case
Also you can take a breather as the GPS is most phones is only good to about 20m (give or take) and in the evening it gets worse becuase you have less vision to satelites. Secondly when your inside somewhere with your phone it likely will have issues getting a fixed position. Then when you go back outside it will also take a while to get fixed. Or you know, if your under a big tree ect. (especially popplers.. sp?)
