Does RUN or WALK Pace Laps breakdown need GPS-enabled to show this detail?

I manually initiate RUN or WALK and always enable GPS because I like the details GPS provides.  However GPS-enabled really drains the Charge 6.  And I'm wondering what's really GPS adding other than giving me a map.

If I don't enable GPS, would I still get the Pace Laps breakdowns during a manually initiated RUN/WALK?

I know when the device auto detects a WALK, the Pace Laps breakdowns are not available.

Experimented and answered my own question.  In case it's ever useful for anyone searching the forum -- No GPS-enabled WALK means no Pace Laps breakdown.  I didn't try with RUN since I didn't want to not get lap details with that form of activity but I assume results would be the same.
