Because it use GPS signal to locate you which do not need the 3-4-5G antenna. (There are more precise positionning method who use them tho) GPS signal come directly from the GPS satellite around the world and use trigonometry to locate you on the earth (The GPS satellite act like defined point and you compute the distance between you and a few of them then you know where you are (since your phone know how to computre where the satellite are compared to the earth)
