As NJ states, this is incorrect AFAIK. The 1030 manual is here:

It does tell you how to pair to BT and what features you can use (Live Track, etc...) with these features, but the device can do pretty much all a basic GPS device can do - track a ride, generate position, save a track, generate data such as current speed, avg. speed, time spent on a ride, time of day, etc.... without the need for a smartphone. You can also (on some units) connect via WiFi which will send rides up to Garmin Connect and get Courses from Connect. No need for BT.
