Reply to comment by TWiesengrund in TIL that the European Union developed a satellite navigation system called Galileo, which can provide an accuracy of up to 20 cm (0.7ft) on smartphones, while GPS only reaches around 3 meters (10ft) by apeowl
And these two systems are compatible with each other so the accuracy gotta be pretty great? Oh, and modern phones even use the Russian GLOSNASS system. It consists of almost three satellites and have an accuracy of 200 potatoes.
