the GPS change.

If you use differential GPS (which includes a nearby stationary receiver at a known coordinate) you can get much better resolution -- down to sub-meter accuracy.  Still might not be enough to avoid the furniture, though.

Forget global.  We need to devise HPS -- Household Positioning System!
