Yeah, one of my test locations has similar issues. It leads to some
'interesting' results.

I think it is reasonable as a worst case. Basically a 1D model of a
3D problem. With good sat angles, the 3m location change will be
trigonomically smaller for a sat at an angle.
But, as I said, given that GPS only resolves to 90 ns, the worst case
+/- 13 ns is noise.
