GPS and GPRS are two totally different technologies. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a triangulation method using GPS satellites to calculate location, speed etc.
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a Mobile Data Service available to users of Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and IS-136 mobile phone.
So, if your phone has a GPS chip, it will work with or without any GPRS service in the area. In fact logically speaking you don't even need a SIM card for GPS to work.
Some phones that do not have a built in GPS need a separate GPS receiver. This receiver communicates with the phone/ handheld to plot the location and process the data using a mapping software. This communication is enabled using bluetooth.
Have a great time!
