A GPS on a cellular phone receives its signal from GPS satellites that are in the sky. When the GPS receives signals from more than one satellite, it can calculate the position and track exactly where the user of the cellular phone is headed.

Is the GPS locator on a cell phone always on?
The short answer is no. A cell phone usually uses the carrier's antennas to triangulate the signal and provide the current position of the user; so when there are less antennas to triangulate, the poorer will be the quality of the signal. When there are no antennas, the cell phone won't be able to work as a GPS. However, if the phone does have a specific GPS chip inside, it will use satellites to give the position. Provided that there is not too much interference, it will work as long as the phone is powered.
