Amazed to read on the WikiPedia entry for Huygens probe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens_probe that it is expected that the location of Huygens probe on Titan's surface will be located to within 1 km . This corresponds to a precision of more than 1 part in a billion - equivalent to splitting an E coli bacterium at a distance of 1km. Now that's what I call an accurate measurement! The rest of the WikiPedia article is the best I've read about Huygens (or any other mission come to that). Superb!
