Comment on Color CEO: The Tech Justifies the $41 Millionparent

Comments

Phone GPS, in my experience, really doesn't. It is inaccurate, oftentimes 100ft off, and certainly drains battery faster than just about anything else.

What part of it works, on a phone, for applications such as these? Or were you just saying, in general, GPS technology does work?

I think GPS inaccuracy was the #1 reason Foursquare beat Gowalla. Gowalla used to enforce strict accuracy on check-ins and it rarely registered you in the place you were at.
