kudos:16 | Cell tower triangulation isn't that bad either The worst I've ever had it do is about 250m away from my actual location. In some areas, it can peg me down to maybe 20m.
My conclusion: It's good enough for a wide range of topics. Automatically zooming in a map to your general area. Giving you weather info. And even location-sensitive searches.
If I want to search for "pizza", and it thinks that I'm a quarter kilometer away, that's not a big deal; it's only up to an extra 3 minutes of walking.
In short, I don't need hyper-accurate positioning on a cellphone, I just need "good enough", which I have. |
