Google Maps will use GPS for "My Location" if the GPS is functioning. You need to select "Use GPS" on the Menu - and should see a status bar in the upper right corner stating the number of satellites in use. Selecting the blue square in the lower right should bring up a message bar with info about how accurate the fix is...
If GPS is NOT enabled... It will default to the 'tower' method as Joe explained above.
