GPS coordinates don't generally include altitude, correct? If he's in a six-floor apartment, how could GPS define which floor he's in?

- dignati 12y agoThen the full name should be anough to determine the floor. More problematic though is the inaccuracy of GPS. Where I live, my smartphone's GPS encircles 3 buildings.
- hawkice 12y agoBingo. In my apartment building none of the units had numbers. I could point you to my unit, which was one of two doors on my floor, the other leading to a unit directly above me. So even GPS + Floor wouldn't quite me enough, although that's close enough that we could figure out who the package was for.
- michaelcampbell 12y agoThen it's not a GPS coordinate, it's a lat/long one. GPS measurements include altitude; whether or not one chooses to use it is a different matter.
