I don't have a SIM card installed and the GPS was reasonably close to pinpointing my home. It's within 100 feet or so when Wifi is turned on. Much less accurate with it off. Currently the map software may leave a lot to be desired though. Probably depends upon distribution. I'm testing Mobian at the moment. Also, mobile internet may be required for what you want to do. E.g. The Gnome Maps application needs some form of Internet access for map data.
