It'll take longer to get a gps lock, and clear outside view of the sky is absolutely required.

If by "GPS" you actually don't mean GPS, but mean Maps, then Ovi Maps comes preloaded with Maps for your country and doesn't need internet connection for that. Ovi Maps turns off the GPS if it doesn't get lock in 30 secs, so that makes it a bit useless without data connection.
@op: please do note that many devices will fail to lock in on your position if agps is disabled. This is a known bug that nokia doesn't seem to give a crap about and has yet to be fixed. Should you end up with a faulty device, you will be charged for the data traffic that agps generates. My advice, if full and free gps functionality is very important to you, stay away from the n900.

EDIT: just saw spanner's reply. Good to see they finally took care of that.
