This is why you do not get GPS coordinates on your phone when you're in airplane mode, and why you cannot get directions if you turn off the cellular data on your phone. As you move especially in slower movements it is hard for the towers to accurately track (PING) you because you are not moving very fast in relation to them. This is why GPS on your phone is less accurate at slower speeds.
