Your GPS could soon know how high you are. Rice University scientists have written some smart software that better interprets the signals coming from space that tell a GPS device its altitude, with an accuracy of around a centimer. You may never have noticed it, but even when your car’s unit is reporting your position to within a few meters, its guess as to your altitude is very poor–much worse than one centimeter.
