The location tracking on my phone is in no way precise enough to determine this info.
Lol, that's cute that you think that.
You've never had the location or direction be incorrect in Google Maps?
Google Maps != carrier tracking. Your phone is perfectly capable of gathering this data using its accelerometer plus GPS and cell tower positioning.
Why is Google Maps often inaccurate then?
Maybe your phone, but the insurance company's app lives on a relative's phone, and it can determine the same things mentioned in the article.
I miss my Nokia 3210 too.
