Out of interest how accurate is the GPS ?
If the job shows via GPS they are in a pub is it correct or could they be in a restaurant five doors away ?

Fairly accurate. It will be within the next door either side (not 5!).

However, if you use GPS to determine your position when requesting a car, best to do it outside or on a wi-fi network, otherwise the GPS location may be based on the nearest phone mast, which could be some distance away from where you are.
