Does phone GPS works like regular GPS device ?

Hello,

I got an Xperia X Compact recently and was wondering if I can use it as a GPS in my car when I am abroad like I could do with a "real" GPS device ? Can I still calculate routes and see my position in let's say google maps even though I don't have either WiFi or mobile data on ?

Regards

Maps.me and Here WeGo are perfect for offline navigation.
