Right, that doesn't mean that GPS requires a cellular tower to work. That just means that a particular app on your phone was programmed to to use more than just the GPS antenna to locate you and calculate the best route...
Try another app that only displays the GPS statistics. You will find that the GPS antenna still works when your cellular service is disconnected.
