And, (2) there are normal small deviations, such as lane choice on big motorways or intersections, or detours around road works, which can be maybe up to 50 meters.
Another question just popped up in my head: Isn't it (to some extent) possible to implement some change (steering) detection using the internal sensors (assuming in car mode that the phone is fixed)? That data could possibly also be combined with a Kalman filter (which may generally be useful when entering a tunnel).
