Don't think that's true at all, how would standard GPS units work then? If for some reason it does not work, then download Nokia Here Maps, because it definitely works there.
Looks like they updated it to include offline directions: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/6291838?hl=en">https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/6291838?hl=en</a><!-- m -->
Standard GPS units have megs/gigs of maps to help calculate the best route. Google Maps did not previously download enough information to provide this.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
