"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
My first Gen iPod touch seems to know where I am when I'm using the Maps application even if I'm not connected to any wifi network. This happened to me in San Francisco once but I chalked it up to the prevalence of WiFi network there. But recently I was driving around Oxnard (not a place with great free and open wifi coverage) following directions on the map app I had set up ahead of time, and I found that the blue dot showing my position changed as I was driving around, showing my current location in real time.
How the heck does this happen? The thing doesn't have GPS AFAIK.
