Can HTC Fooprints capture location with Data turned off?

[nbaj2k]

I'm currently overseas and do not have CDMA coverage. I was thinking about switching to a ROM with HTC Footprints, so I could take pictures of different locations with their GPS coordinates being captured. Will that still work with my Touch Pro 2 since there is no CDMA coverage and I have the data turned off (so I don't get charged any ridiculous data roaming charges). I know the phone has built in GPS, but I had a feeling that data was needed also to capture location, is that true?

Thanks,
