My fork has both float operations replaced with integer multiplies. Ran the car around the block and positions were definitely good enough for what road I was on, usually within the lane, but sometimes the lane over from where I should be.

The two multiply operations look to be as accurate as the SIM808 +/- 0.000001 or about 0.1m.

I’m reasonably confident in these changes giving accurate results. https://github.com/evbuilder/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System/tree/lat-long-precision-fix
