Right. If the tower accuracy was better, this could be extremely useful information. For example, I was originally tinkering with an idea something like
- if we don't get a GPS lock, but the LAST GPS lock is within the accuracy radius of the cell tower lock, assume it is still the GPS lock, but if not, take the cell tower.

All such logic sounds clever, but completely breaks due to the useless reported "accuracy" of towers

Next build (whenever I get around to make one) will have this change, it's a supertrivial change.
