It depends on your use case if current mobile pne GPS is good enough. Rideshare companies lose millions of dollars because drivers end up on the wrong block, wrong side of street, wrong level of an airport and have to circle. Automotive companies very much want to use mobile phone GPS to enable collision avoidance with pedestrians and bikes but there are way too many false positives. Fitness tracking can be wildly inaccurate for tracking accurate paces and fastest known time (leaderboards). On our end we don't ever store or compute a user's location just the error correction. The user's device determines their location and they decide who they want to share that location with. There is definitely problems with unscrupulous companies aggregating data and that is the antithesis of what we've worked to architect. There are tons of wonderful use cases that don't require stalking people. Making drone delivery more resilient to outages. Better search and rescue capabilities. Under the hood there is a powerful relative distance metric that gives us an even more precise distance between devices. Which opens the door the interesting location based gaming mechanics - like playing a game of digital tag. Hope that helps provide some context and our philosophy on privacy.
