GPS in Pilot Mode?

When flying the Breeze outside in Pilot Mode only, does GPS have to be turned on? What effect does GPS have if your only going to be flying in Pilot Mode?

Some reports of fly-away also suggest that a missing GPS can cause a sudden loose of control, e.g. sudden bank and ascend at crazy speed...
