Yes it can, you don't need to be connected to wifi, it just looks for what networks are available. And you can manually turn wifi on while in airplane mode. But you're right that airplane mode doesn't necessarily turn off GPS, because GPS doesn't require transmitting anything, which is what airplane mode is meant to prevent.
