Will Google Maps location be accurate on iPhone 11 Pro Max if shared via hotspot from iPhone 15 Pro Max?

As above. I'm planning to use my old iPhone (11 PM) as a in-car GPS permanently, getting internet via hotspot from my newer iPhone 15 PM. Not sure if the location will be accurate on the 11 PM. Or are there any settings I need to enable for it to be accurate?

It will definitely not be accurate, because GPS alone requires a clear view of the sky in all directions, which it can’t really get in a car. But try it out and see.

Wouldn't it be easier just to use the iPhone 15 Pro for navigation? It's not at all clear to me what the benefit of using the older phone is.
