Given that you can browse map data for any location, not just where you happen to be, I'm betting that triangulation data from your carrier would be more accurate.

Sure, triangulation of carrier signals could lead to more accurate position estimates, but if the carrier isn't based in the US they are under no obligation to make this data available to US authorities.
Apple and Google are based in the US so are bound by the CLOUD Act to provide any and all data they have, no matter where in the world it is being collected or stored.
