- GenerocUsername 5y agoI mean... on the cell network, IP alone is enough to put you within a quarter mile or so.
- blooalien 5y agoPretty sure these days they can triangulate you down to within something like 10-30 meters (with nothing but cell or wifi) with a pretty high degree of certainty, can't they?
- kevinventullo 5y agoWith ambient WiFi signals one can get the error down to 10 meters or even less depending on coverage. This actually powers some of the location signals which Google and Apple provide in their location API’s, as it costs less battery life than GPS.
