Besides which, consumer GPS has a resolution down to 3M, 95th percentile - not 100M [1]. [1] http://www.gps.gov/technical/ps/2008-SPS-performance-standard.pdf

- e12e 12y agoI don't agree with gp's dismissal, but the point about gps and coarse location was that continuously updating gps (for full 3m resolution) would be too taxing on the batteries -- not that gps resolution was poor. Don't think that applies if parent was using google maps to navigate, though -- how useful would navigation be without correct and updated position? Not to mention wi-fi location, correlation with plus posts/check-ins etc...
