Gps Navigating

The Speedometer recently burned out on my old Fiero GT so instead of replacing the dash board I simply downloaded the free GPS Digihud Speedometer to my Android cell phone and it is very accurate! These cell phones don't really use satellites from space,just the nearest cell towers in your current area.so I was wondering if my robot could use this app since the phone even knows compass direction based off the Cell towers and I don't even have a cell plan! Just turn on the GPS function and it works even down in my basement the Microwave cell tower signals are powerful enough to go through walls,floor and ground.Is there already a similar GPS navigating APP in EZ B windows software addons?

First off props on owning a Fiero.

I use these apps on my iphone. I find they work good in a car at speed. At lower speed and covering short distances they are off wildly. For instance in my old car at speed it tracks great. I put my iphone on my RC car and it worded so/so unless I ran in a straight line for a long distance. At the low when I go for a walk apps specifically for that blip walking 0 mph to 9 mph. So I am not sure this has the resolution for bot navigation. Maybe I am wrong.
