Though it’s not really true GPS — the new solution uses a database of cellular and wifi positioning strength to triangulate a user’s position rather than the system of satellites most of us know and love — Mexens Technology today announced that its Navizon location technology will be available for the iPhone.

Of course, you have to crack the iPhone’s current system to install the software, which can be a bit dicey, but you get 15 days free to check it out before you have to start ponying up your $24.99, or you can join the wardriving research teams who will be driving about with their GPS units helping to calibrate the technology and establish the database that lets Navizon users know where they are.

Hmmmm… So they’re inviting users to help them fill in the “GPS gaps” that’ll actually make this thing work in the first place… Well, you gotta start somewhere. Several sites are reporting that this works for now, though it’s accuracy is a bit off — sometimes a few hundred meters or so… On second thought, this one might not be quite ready to hatch.
