It's unclear what "accuracy" means, exactly. "5 meters of accuracy" doesn't mean anything on its own. For it to be useful in practice, it should probably be given a clear statistical definition.

(note to self to rethink this one)

Also, one thing that would be nice is descriptive locations e.g. being able to tell the client whether it is the user's present location, or a static marker on a map.

The usual defintion here for GPS seems to be "CEP": the size of the circle in which at least 50% of the measurements land. Afaict this is the value almost all GPS receivers will output.

I'm closing this in favour of an MSC, sorry. Thanks for the PR @Half-Shot, though I think it was before its time :(
