Was given a Moto G5 plus phone, with just the emergency service and
was told I can install this GPS tool to it and use it for driving
directions.

Is there a reason the "GPS tool" is a secret?

How would I get the app onto the phone since its not got service?

How did you post here in Usenet?  If you have a wifi modem at home, you
connect your phone to wifi to get to wherever is the secret app.

I have a Windows Desktop and I can plug the USB into it, and exchange files,
but I dont think the app can be downloaded on a Win Machine
because its a differenet OS?

GPS is just positioning.  You need a cellular data or wifi connection to
the Internet to get the map data.  You might have wifi at home with your
router to download map data, but would have to use it offline on the
road.  With Google Maps, you can save a region of a map, and use while
offline.  Another map app that works offline (you need an Internet
connection to get the map data) is Here [WeGo].
