The software does NOT make use of real-time positioning. It gets your starting location, and then it "guesses" how long it'll take you to move to the next location based on the speed limit. If you miss a turn or get stuck in traffic, it just happily continues on. Apple has blocked use of the A-GPS chip for "navigation purposes" and this app didn't magically find it's way around.
