I have several, but I didn't know Androids had offline Maps capability. Also, is it possible to use GPS without an active cellphone account with a carrier?

You can tell google maps to save a set of directions for offline use. Same with scout which is the free app from telenav that all sprint customers get.

I can use GPS in airplane mode, so I suppose it works.
