does that actually obfuscate the position, or just lower the accuracy? 
So if for example I have a strong GPS lock on the front door of my 
house, then stop using maps and then go somewhere else and decide to use 
a location aware service, (maybe something like pooperapp.com) is the 
last known position a big circle still centered on the exact coordinates 
of the front door of my house?
