[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1838383, member: 396914"] Waze cannot pinpoint lane. None of them can. GPS is only accurate to 5 meters, and that is with a solid lock from over 4 satellites. Given that the lane is wider than the error, it is impossible to determine lane. The limitation is not with GPS inherently, but with the clock accuracy. If you are willing to spend $10,000US and up, you can get really accurate GPS receivers That said, I have an 11 Pro and used it with Waze just fine. Speeds/locations/directions were all accurate for the entire journey. I suspect that the person (1) who contact that author had a defective unit. But as the author sort of admits, happy people don't go on the internet to say so (nor do they contact authors to write articles because good news is not news). GPS is managed by the USAF. Here is what the US Gov't says about gps accuracy ([url=https://www.gps.gov/systems/gps/performance/accuracy/]GPS.gov: GPS Accuracy[/url]) [/QUOTE]
