If you are in the northern hemisphere, then the angle between Polaris and
your northern horizon is always within about 1/3 degree of your north latitude. 
For many purposes, it's close enough to just figure that the elevation of Polaris
above your northern horizon <u>IS</u> your north latitude.

Sadly, it's a different story if you are in the southern hemisphere ... Polaris is
never visible from there at all.
