normally a mobile operator would not know the 'GPS' location of a person. Just the tower IDs they were connected to. And that connection could be several kilometers away from the person. Operator knows probably the strength of signal and may be other characteristics of the devices, that would help to reduce the possible radius. But I doubt it is anywhere near as precise as GPS. GPS location, of course is much more precise, and is likely collected by say google maps or other installed apps, if maps is turned on.
