Or can i preload the maps so its a gps only navigation like sygic?
Crown,
Geeps is just a front-end for the "google maps" web site (and other web services) so it needs access to the internet. The map tiles (images) will be cached on the phone as you use them but the application won't work unless you are online.

EDIT: to be more precise: not for the actual "google maps" web site but for a html page on my web site that uses the "google maps api".
