It's actually possible to navigate longitude and latitude by just going up and down. It's how spy balloons traverse.

To some extent. There are different winds at different altitudes, but it's the kind of navigation that lets you fly over a city once. It's not the kind that lets you linger over a certain building, or go back if you missed something.
