It would be possible to make an API that, after initially telling its coordinates manually or by GPS, every step it takes is taken into account and updates its coordinates and save them to a file, without using any GPS signals.

Pocket computers have no way to detect motion which is what the OP wants.
What you have said would work with a turtle though, and it's been
done several times.

Completely missed that for some reason.
For pocket computer there isn't really a way currently other than measuring the distance a message has traveled to get to your pocket comp, which is essentially what GPS uses.
I don't know of any mods that implements something like this, considering that modded peripheral for pockets is a thing that's only available in the beta version of CC, I think.
