What is a real gps? I am assuming you mean the iPhone doesn't have one?
The iPod uses triangulation based on cell phone towers with known locations. I think this depends on getting a signal from at least 3 towers. This is better in urban areas where cell towers are plentiful and line of site to satellites is too often blocked. Advice to backwoods droids is to simply move.
