So, what saved them? The GPS on the cell phone or the coordinates from the bottle?

Coordinates from the bottle saved them. Their cellphone didn't have the GPS feature. Using both, they were able to tell their rescuers EXACTLY where they were.
"If we had had a GPS (and a map), we probably would have been a lot better off," Pitts said.

The cache was a container that had in it a logbook with it’s exact latitude and longitude printed on it. They were able to relay this information to rescuers via the cell phone.
