Your question

Can I know how do I interpret the value of Accuracy that is return in the Position together with latitude and longitude? I only see decimal numbers but is there a way I can understand the meaning of the value?

Version

11.0.0

From the code position.dart:

  /// The estimated horizontal accuracy of the position in meters.
  ///
  /// The accuracy is not available on all devices. In these cases the value is
  /// 0.0.
  final double accuracy;

This issue seems to be resolved. Furthermore, we pass most of the data from the iOS or Android APIs if available. You could always fallback to their documentation for additional context.

Kind regards,
