Will it be possible to turn off the cell service in the software  ? ?
  SO the GPS could be powered without cell service..?

  Just wondering....

You can turn it off in software (Linux) of course. Or you can shut down the entire modem physically.

 AND  still operate the GPS  ?

Yes. But the software shutting off the cellular part would only affect the software running on the phone, not actually the modem. Basically, all it would do is cause the software to think there is no cellular hardware, and it can only see the GPS data.
