Exactly, for some reason forgot to clarify that earlier. haha On average outside 3 meters. On average inside 500/800 meters.

This post was really a matter of curiosity - I generally know where I am (especially if I'm actually at home). But it was also about inaccuracies in Latitude, which becomes pretty useless if it's 5 miles off. GPS doesn't work when I'm inside, athough I actually find it very accurate if I'm outside and really want to know where I am.

Moved to GPS & Mapping

I live in a ranch style house, and even indoors, Google or even the standard BB maps get me within a few meters of where my recliner is.
