    Geolocation. HTML5 and other methods.

    I'm working on something right now that involves geolocation that needs to be very accurate mostly.

    Question I have is how accurate, on average, is html5's geolocation? I know things can go awry and you can get a bit off.
    There are plenty of other methods.

    This is something I don't have experience with, hammer away please...
