Astro compass? GPS should do the trick. Yes?
As far as I know GPS coverage/accuracy over North Pole is not very good, for example Garmin warns in their manual that no pilot should attempt to use their flagship G1000 product at latitudes over 70 deg. Perhaps this number is overly conservative but in fact you better have inertial navigation at some point close to a Pole.
