OK, I saw the key two words the second time I read it - "in part." Sun can
give you only ONE "line of positions" (LOP) - a huge circle on the earth; ya
gotta know about where ya are for this info to be any good, i. e. - dead
reckoning (RD), for example - projecting info from last known position to
reckon/guess present position. Using old info plus sun LOP, you can
reckon/guess a "most probable position" MPP - lot better than nothing and is
"neat," anyway - handheld astrotracker. Now, if it could track stars --.

If it can't pick up a GPS signal, the all-new S-Class can
actually determine where it is based in part on the sun's
position in the sky. Now that's a bright idea.
