All civvie market GPSs have a built in 'random direction fudge factor' of about 100+M so that they can't be too accurate, and the actual coordinates will be no good for say, an artillery strike or missile strike.

Run of the mill civilian GPS can get +- 1 meter with averaging or +-10 meters on the move.
