GPS seems a lazy way of noting your position on the road since it is
only good to about 3m. ...


That is more than adequate for a dash cam that is intended to provide
evidence in the case of an accident.


Yes, GPS (with timestamp and lat/long stamp) and video would seem to be
fine.

If GPS is lazy, what alternative way of establishing location (apart from
video which is a "given" since the thread title is "Dash Cam") would Martin
Brown suggest?
