Oh, yes, that's why I was so pleasantly surprised. I had previously been under the impression that you have to be online to use GPS. That's why I said I would have been more sympathetic to the idea of using my phone as a navigation aid had I known that you don't.

You stated that GPS can be much more accurate with the internet turned on. Is it often inaccurate when it's off? Will it mislead me? That would be counterproductive, and I'd be better off not using it in that case.
