OK, there is a separate function that keeps getting positions, and  
this will result in GPS accurate positions. Trouble is I will need to  
learn javascript to make it work cleanly (need to filter the results  
so I only update the position when it changes significantly or  
accuracy has improved. I've been trying to avoid learning javascript  
for years, this my be the time I have no choice...
