Yes! This is exactly why the live view is so useful.

I did a land nav course in the Marine Corps; we had compasses we used to sight landmarks so we could triangular our location. To do this you held up the compass and looked through a slit. I'd call that analog navigation: The live view of Enkin is the same concept in digital form.

Sailors do it that way too, its called a hockey puck compass, you site through it at a landmark and triangulate your position on a chart after you get a few bearings on a few different spots. Now most people just use GPS but the idea is the same.
