A bit lower it says this :

[quote]
Can You Track a Phone If It Is Switched Off?

Yes, you can track the lost mobile phone if it's lost as well as switched
off with the Google Maps. Just by checking out the history of your device
timeline, *you can track where your phone was active last time*.
[/quote]

(bolding mine)

Although the first line says "yes", the rest of it says "no" : You can
recover *where it was when it was on* using Googles services - but that
won't help in any way if the phone is moved after it has been switched off.

Bottom line : the answer to the OPs question seems to be "no".
