1) GPS signal is effectively shielded by a few mm of tissue atop of
the antenna
2) you need a lot of power to reach a satellite (or even the local
cellular base station) from within a body
3) current HF circuits need a lot of juice to operate. Like, really, a
lot.
While none of above objections are insurmountable, having them all
licked, at current day and age, appears infeasible.
