Attributes

Remarks

Property getter documentation:

Returns the estimated horizontal accuracy radius in meters of this location at the 68th percentile confidence level. This means that there is a 68% chance that the true location of the device is within a distance of this uncertainty of the reported location. Another way of putting this is that if a circle with a radius equal to this accuracy is drawn around the reported location, there is a 68% chance that the true location falls within this circle. This accuracy value is only valid for horizontal positioning, and not vertical positioning.

This is only valid if #hasAccuracy() is true. All locations generated by the LocationManager include horizontal accuracy.
