How about using the accelerometer for navigation ?
So you can "point the device at what you want to identify" kinda thing..
Will this work ?
No. The N900 would need a compass for that. It can be "done" via a number of logical workarounds, including using the GPS and making the user walk in the direction they are facing until the direction is determined, or forcing teh user to initialize and reinitialize which direction is north. Neither of these workarounds would promote a positive user experience.
