This really depends on your app. Are you giving the user walking
directions? Then 30% sucks. Are you giving the user local weather results?
Then that should be more than enough accuracy.

Sure, that makes sense.  I would assume that walking directions means 
they're outside, in which case I would expect GPS to be available.  I'm 
trying to tell what business someone is in, so some level of accuracy is 
required.  I'm plugging the coordinates being returned into Google Maps and 
it's finding me just fine.  However, simply seeing 30% is concerning.
