Thats why generally the more satellites your GPSr receivers the better the accuracy will be.

They do make BT GPS loggers that operate as a BT GPS but also logs where you have been so theoretically you could buy one of those, throw it in her backpack and see where she has been all day after the fact
right...(kinda just said that)...lol but yeah i dont think any type of addressing occurs on with the chip, now some other type of hardware or software could address it, but there is no universal address protocol.

And yes, its called triangulation, but it takes 4 sattelites to get a GPS lock
