Cell tower triangulation isn't that bad either in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20574987 en Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:13:15 EDT Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:13:15 EDT Cell tower triangulation isn't that bad either http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20574987 Guspaz : 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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20574987 Sun, 01 Jun 2008 21:51:07 EDT
