Yes, for products we usually think of us consumer GPS products such as phones and navigation units this won't change much--unless you're willing to listen to your navigation unit's voice yelling at you to make a U-turn onto that road you drove by four hours ago.

On the other hand, this will open up new uses for GPS and potentially let you utilize it in a range of applications that just need to record time/position instead of immediately report it to an app/user. In exchange for lack of immediacy, users acquire higher fidelity data. I'm expecting to see this be more relevant in scientific fields than consumer electronics.
