From the specs the N9 ONLY has A-GPS. If I don't have a local SIM card (which means I can not talk to local towers) I don't know how A-GPS would work.
A-GPS means "Assisted GPS"
GPS with assistance from WiFi or Cell-Towers or GPS-Servers.
A-GPS works as well without data connection (tracking Cell-Towers).
N9 does have a GPS chip (no data connection needed) with assistance as explained before.
