That's good; so in the Savvy they will have pinpointed your accuracy to around just a few miles
hahah yes, but even so, its not hard to estimate a pretty accurate position, given a breadcrumb trail will give a pretty good indication of track and speed. so, given the last know position at a said time, you know the aircraft track across ground, and its speed. not hard to figure out where to start looking for it. even if you dont know its track after the last point, at least you will have a circle of a given diameter to look in.
