On my phone it is off and stays off. Unlike on iOS when it turns itself on.

If your wifi is enabled, then the GPS makes almost no difference for goggle geo-location.

Their map of wifi SSIDs allows pretty accurate geo-location, with no GPS.

This doesn't apply to you if you travel in an area with no wifi hotspots. The hotspots don't need to be publicly acessible, only the SSID needs to be visible for the hotspot to serve as a geo-location waypoint.
