Here's a practical example of using an iPhone as a sextant. Note the extra optics required, and the limitation of sensor accuracy, but still better than nothing.

Wibble, I was thinking of giving the GPS its initial fix manually, rather than having it get the info from the cell towers. I do like the thought of having the option to leave GPS off entirely, and provide a manually entered location to any app that wants it.
