Got my data from Uber: lat, long, direction, vertical and hor accuracy, altitude, speed, battery status and levelpic.twitter.com/4ci3PLOUgd

Yes and no: I got it from Uber when I asked them. Anyone in Europe can do the same.
Ah, interesting. Curious how they report altitude, which tends to be useless and inaccurate anyways.
they give 10 significant digits! must be correct, because data, you know!
If you're going to be wrong, be wrong to high precision!
(note how they include accuracy measurement for horizontal = X and vertical = Y; should really be ellipse)
Yeah. But I could see parameterizing that in such a way for the sake of simplifying metrics & reducing data xfer.
seems so. Seems very invasive and usurious.
no, that's what I specifically asked Uber to send me. a fraction of what my app AND driver's app are emitting! @EmilyGorcenski
The aps are sending even more?
I presume. There are tools to figure that out, and people have. They use "proxy" for this; might help GoogleFu @EmilyGorcenski
