How accurate is the GPS on the iPhone's Find My iPhone app?
I used Find My iPhone app to track a friend. The first 3 stops were dead on but when it refreshed it showed them to be several streets over from actual location. What could cause that?

The generic answer you can find at Apple support website
If you want to have specific numbers, in meters, approximately they would be next (according to the 2009 study):
In 2011 Dr. Zandbergen tested several Android smart phones. Here he found the accuracies to be slightly better than the 2009 study. They ranged from 5-8 meters. It is likely that the iPhone 4S/5 is within this range as well. It can also be assumed that iPads and other Android tablets will be comparable.
