Re:Super-Accurate GPS Chips Coming to Smartphones in 2018 by gnicholas on Friday September 22, 2017 @01:49AM (#15309687)
There's already much finer granularity in stores, thanks to wifi-based tracking (even if you don't join the network [1]), so this ship has sailed.

Refining GPS accuracy only modestly improves the ability to track what stores you are near. Wifi-assisted GPS tracking that exists today probably tells advertisers everything they need to know already.
