Well, I'm sure that will come there eventually.

True. But the problem is that accuracy in meters makes sense with GPS,
but is fairly vague with any other backend. What would it be?

* Plazes: meters from WiFi base station based on some signal strength
questimation
* HostIP: some big number that is always incorrect but "good enough"
* Manual: no idea, depends how pedantically user inputs position and
how good our geocoding database is
