    No, but anyway it’s not correct that GPS function only works in one direction

    GPS works in one direction. GPS satellites send one-way GPS signals, they receive no information back from your phone.

    With GPS on they can find you with a precision of few meters

    Yes, very likely.

    Not possible if GPS works only in one direction

    Absolutely possible. For example Android phones can, and in most cases do, send your location (that your phones figures out from GPS signals) to Google, with your internet connection, either Wi-Fi or cellular data. GPS signals don’t need to be bidirectional for that to happen.
