PS - This isn't the first 'phone in space' story. I believe one was used in a satellite, and I suspect that wasn't an iPhone.

Wonder if TomTom can navigate at 17,000 MPH.

Two facts:

ISS altitude - ~200mi
GPS satellite altitude - ~22,000mi

GPS works just fine on ISS. Indeed they already have GPS antennae installed.
