Description
Especially important for lower quality phones, but this can quite dramatically reduce noise even in fairly open skies on an iPhone! See https://mastodon.social/@_Davidsmith/111409340172869799.
This can be added to the `NavigationController` and be applied transparently. Probably should be configurable in case someone wants to disable it.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the NavigationController and the issue's linked Kalman-filtering reference. Determine how GPS locations enter the controller and where configuration is exposed; done should mean reduced GPS noise on lower-quality phones while allowing users to disable the filtering.
