That is an advantage centrum has, they can use the same jump calculation over a much larger area.

This, I know...but the question is, what happens when the point in space is uncertain. For example, a point on earth is pretty certain...the latitude and longitude of Times Square.
But a point in solar orbit is less certain...do you arive in the same spot relative to Earth, even if it's in a different part of its orbit? Or at the same point relative to the sun...which could be much closer or more distant from Earth. Or, even worse, do you arive at the same place relative to the galaxy, which could be in interstellar space if the sun's moved enough.
