The only thing is use of this information by the third-party software -
but I can also write a patch for JOSM, but the question is whether it's
going to be accepted or not.

I've received information from Mobileaction
(http://www.a-trip.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1141), that HDOP is not
recorded by the device now and I assume they are getting the EHPE
information directly from the GPS chip and thus doing no HDOP<->EHPE
conversion on their own.

Bug description:
For exporting data from igotu to JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap Editor), it would be nice to export EHPE
as HDOP, provided HDOP is not available from igotu. I've noticed others do this as well for some
applications, e.g., EventLogger:
http://web.tiscali.it/macri/Event_Logger/Event_Logger.htm
It's more of correctness question than technical question, as the patch is actually quite simple:
