Cool, I didn't know that had been added.

I created a small demo of navigator.geolocation, which displays position including altitude and heading, if available.

I can't get my iPhone 4 iOS 4.3.3 to display neither heading nor altitude. I guess Apple didn't implement that?

Which is not true.
You can get lat, long, altitude, accurancy via window.geolocation API
Then you to compare positions each needed interval to get a speed.

For heading, you can play with the accelerometer

The text you found describes how to obtain a pseudo-compass heading.

Aha
I found a page that seems to explain the iphone compass
"Given that we know our position, in latitude and longitude, it's
possible to calculate this Magnetic Declination. It can vary from 0 to
30 degrees here in North America. So, knowing the direction that a
magnetic compass points to, there is a calculation that tells you the
offset, East or West, and the angle to correct, to obtain True
Geographic North.
