GPS is a satellite system that just tells your device where you're at. There's no communications with it. For live tracking the GPS sends location via bluetooth (I think - I don't use it) to your phone which then uses its internet connection (2G, 3G, etc) to fire off that location data to Garmin servers (via NSA, GCHQ, etc).
