What we actually do here is only allow timestamps from the last 60 days. If the 
timestamp is older than that, we just autocorrect this to be "today" instead, 
assuming the phone clock was bad. But then again we don't actually use these 
observation timestamps for anything right now. For all internal processing the 
upload time / database insertion time is used.

I wasn't aware of a bad clock time affecting the GPS readings that much, but it 
makes sense. @Djfe can you open a mozstumbler issue with your ideas stumbler 
side local time checks?

Cheers,
Hanno
