"We can help pin down real-world imagery very accurately to solve the positioning problem," he says. However, the accuracy of cell phones' positioning systems will first have to catch up with that of C3's maps. Cell phones using GPS can typically locate themselves to within tens of meters, not tens of centimeters."</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>On May 11, 2012, at 11:03 AM, Tobias Hollerer wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">
