I'd second that (especially in entry-level documentation). Due to
the nature of the dayjob I've recorded a lot of GPS positions with
phones, and even different models from one manufacturer can vary
from the surprisingly accurate to the fairly abysmal. About the
only generalisation I'd dare make is that the more radios there are
in a smaller package, the less accurate they'll be.<br>
<br>
The <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GPS_Reviews</a> page is still
linked to, and is always going to struggle not to be hopelessly out
of date. You'll always get a more up to date answer by asking in
the #OSM IRC channel!<br>
<br>
Should "Notes on GPS reception" on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Recording_GPS_tracks">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Recording_GPS_tracks</a> perhaps
mention WAAS / EGNOS where it's available, and perhaps that some
newer devices support GLONASS as well as GPS? Perhaps not, or
perhaps not on the main page (to avoid confusing new mappers).<br>
