Actually, I believe the "my location" function does not use the GPS satellites. Instead it triangulates your position off of the cell towers so it would in fact depend on the radio and not the satellites. All that being said, I didn't think that "My Location" worked with the CDMA network, I thought it was a GSM exclusive.
