Yeah, pure GPS doesn't care about anything other than locking onto 3+ satellites. If your app has a database of what is at a certain coordinate, or if you just want distance travelled rather than "here comes 7th Street, no need for data. Or if the app caches the GPS coordinates and matches them up with a map later. But semi-related, how does iOS maps do this? Same way as Google maps, I would assume.
