[Feature request]: Change position precision on geofence boundary ingress/egress #463

Open fumpT opened 4 months ago

As a mobile user; I want the position precision to decrease on ingress to a designated geolocation and increase to my general position precision setting on egress; so that I can increase geolocation obfuscation before I return to home or some other regular/sensitive location.

We've had several requests for this, so starting to think about how to make it happen. My current thought is that the user puts a pin in their map, and sets a position precision value, to draw a circle that contains that position. The firmware stores the precision value and the anonymized point. Then on every GPS update, the firmware does a precision calculation using the stored setting and compares the result to the that stored point. If it matches, then send the anonymized position.
