Shortly, No. A-GPS (Which stands for Assisted Global Positioning System) is just an advanced GPS chip. It allows for the device to locate GPS satellites far faster because it locates the device's approximate position based on information received by cell phone towers first. Without the GPS part, the phone would only be able to get an approximate location fix of several dozen meters, whereas GPS accurately places the device within around 3 meters (10ft).

Is there a free program to track a cell phones GPS signal?
Strictly speaking, GPS devices are passive and don't transmit anything (correlating received signals from a constellation of satellites). Many cellphones use Assisted GPS, sending GPS information to servers to improve positional accuracy (sent through the encrypted data channel). Breaking this encryption is non-trivial (only GSM is known to have a vulnerability). Therefore, it is practically impossible to use a program to externally monitor GPS or AGPS signals. However, many phones offer programs to monitor position on the phone (for example, the iPhone'sMaps application).
