Garmin Developer Tips - Accuracy Estimates

Overview

Accuracy estimates are available in the Android Location class and Apple CLLocation class. These estimates relate to the position and speed accuracy at the 68th percentile confidence level. Full details of the accuracy estimates provided by Android and Apple can be found on a page detailing both APIs.

It is worth noting the Airoha AG3335M chipset used in many modern Garmin watches is capable of providing these metrics but they are not currently exposed via the Garmin API. It is highly desirable for the accuracy estimates from the Airoha chipset to be exposed via the Garmin Toybox.Position module in a future API.
