I actually came up with a decent use for the vibrate function on this control [0]. It's a clickwheel type interface for picking an altitude. When the number changes it triggers the vibrate function making it easier to use the interface without looking.

edit:

I've linked a demo below with the following caveat, this demo was set up exclusively as a mobile interface and still needs plenty of work. One of the issues is the clickwheel size is initialized as a percentage of the screen height when the page loads. So if you resize the window significantly or switch to mobile mode in dev tools, you must refresh the page to get the clickwheel size to adjust accordingly.
