          No, but anyway it’s not correct that GPS function only works in one direction- without GPS, location is made with triangulation fron Cell Towers, which give an aprox locatiob. With GPS on they can find you with a precision of few meters. Not possible if GPS works only in one direction and also not slow, if not, an navigation app wouldn’t work.
