Multi-lane assignment: Is there a way to figure out which lane I’m in given the gpx

0

Hi all:

I read about the discussion on proposals to incorporate multi-lane assignment.

Just wondering if there is a way right now to figure out which lane I'm in given the gpx?

Thanks for your help

If the gpx is based on GPS signals, I believe the margin for error is wider than any individual lane on a road, so it is unlikely to be possible to determine the lane you are in with sufficient accuracy.
