Need some sort of deterministic bias based on user ID? Each user offset 1*Math.rand(hashseed) miles from location at randVector(hashseed)

Why does it have to be deterministic per-user? Why not completely randomized across every user?

I guess depends on the application. Consistent offset would allow measurement of distances, but that does leak some information, so perhaps all-random is better for many uses.
This wouldn't do much good in more rural areas, of course - you could probably zero in on exactly where my parents park their car with a month's worth of data even if you add a mile-wide fuzz to every parked check-in.
