Hi again

iPhone has the geolocation API.
There is a parameter "accuracy".

It's a value in meter that gives you information about 
accuracy,precision <http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/precision.html>
exactness <http://www.dict.cc/englisch-deutsch/exactness.html>

Indoors the API findes the position with wifi or what ever information.
The accuracy is sometimes at 500m or more.

What's the OSM accuracy. When to drop?
I need a value in meter.
What's ok as a OSM GPX coordinate and what is not.

Btw. real GPS data have a height value.

Bernhard
