Apple had introduced a feature in iPhone firmware 1.1.3 where you could pinpoint your location using Google Maps application which in turn uses Wi-Fi base stations and cell tower triangulation with the introduction of the "Locate me" feature.

Its a true GPS system for the current iPhone which consists of a $16 iPhone “GPS Cable,” a $100 Holux M1000b module, and a free iPhone application that ties the hardware to the iPhone’s Google Maps application.

The free iPhone application requires a jailbroken iPhone and as you can see in the video clip of iGPSD in action, the Google Maps application updates every second or so with the latest location information.
