They do? Everything I've read about this kind of thing says that it's woefully inaccurate. Anyone know of anything to suggest otherwise?

Just using accelerometer, as some point and shoots do, is pretty inaccurate but still somewhat usable. Using all the sensosrs on a modern phone (including signal strength from known wifi/tower beacons) would yield much better results.

My point is more in the spirit of: I got excited because there's little or no such apps on playstore, offline maps aren't anything new.
