> Some phones have poor GPS
This is quite the understatement. I used to work for a company selling a personal safety device that paired with your phone and the data we would get back for location on some Android phones was just atrocious. On a large number of older Pixel devices, we’d routinely see location off by a large margin (as in over a mile in the worst cases). Interestingly, we’d see the “real” user location provided with a location accuracy of 100-400ft, then the device would radically jump to a new location (again, sometimes over a mile away) with a location accuracy of <50ft. When you are dispatching help to a person in an emergency, exact location matters!
