Position Accuracy

SiggiK4 days ago

Hello,

I have a question on the Android client. What is the meaning of the accuracy setting? I have the client sending updates, however when I do a walk the position changes very often and on the map it looks very funny like I was jumping around back and force.
I did change the Position Accuracy, which indeed had an influence. But still it's not accurate :-)

Thanks,
Siggi

  • High - GPS location
  • Medium - cell/wifi based location
  • Low - passive (when some other app requests location, the app also gets one)

Note that even with high accuracy you might get a cell-based location, if GPS is not available. So it doesn't guarantee the accuracy. Think of it as the maximum level of accuracy.
