On an iPhone, that's what disabling "Precise Location" does.

Is there a go-to library for this thing? So many apps mess this up.
If they round the final distance number, all you've done is reduced the accuracy to concentric circles like a dartboard, and you simply need more samples to regain the precision.
If they round the input location to the centroid of some larger region-- a square several kilometers on a side or a map shape for a region-- there's no precise information to be leaked.
