A comment on Super-Accurate GPS Chips Coming to Smartphones in 2018. Parent comment
When moving slowly (walking).
When precise coordinates are needed (self driving vehicles).
When precise altitude is needed (airplanes and drones).
When tracking smallish things on a person (head tracking for augmented reality).
When performing certain scientific measurements (continental drift).
Finally, so that when I'm sitting at a stop light my navigation doesn't freak out and suddenly think I'm moving in the opposite direction.
I'm sure there are tons more.
