A question still remains for me: Are you just flipping a bit by turning it off, or are you not actually reporting data?

I'd be really interested in hearing an answer on this from Googlers. Does switching all these settings off actually affect what data Google collects and stores about you, or does it just mean they hide it from you on the activity page?

Considering that they look at IP addresses, it is a switch off for "GPS data"; not "location data".
