Q&A: Does unlocking a cell phone enable GPS tracking on some models?

No, unlocking a phone allows you to use the phone for calls and messages on a different network.

If a cell phone has GPS Tracking as an option, it will be able to identify your position using the various satellites around the globe regardless of the network you are on.

The tricky bit is getting your position displayed on a map on your phone which needs your cell phone to receive data from one of the mapping companies like bing or google maps (which some cell phone networks do not support and so may need to be unlocked to use the phone on a network that does support GPRS data traffic.
