On an iPhone 2G, Latitude and Longitude are obtained with location services. If Google maps cannot locate the user, neither can Nav Clock. This reporter found that the location computed via Wi-Fi on an iPhone 2G was very good. However, as noted above, without a hardware GPS in the iPhone 3G, elevation above sea level is not available.
Nav Clock 1.01 requires iPhone 2.0 software, iPhone or iPod touch. It is priced at US$1.99.
