[Geometry tasks] Enforce min. device location distance threshold

Open gino-m opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Summarizing from https://github.com/google/ground-android/issues/2565:

  • Min. threshold will be optionally specified by survey organizers.
  • The threshold is enforced only when location lock is enabled
  • For "Capture Location", location lock is always on, so the threshold always applies.

Given this feature, I suspect we'll also want to somehow combine "Drop a pin" and "Capture location", that way the organizer's workflow will be more understandable, but that's out of scope of this FR.

@vittorino Do you have cycles to draft designs for the organizer and data collector? Full discussion was in https://github.com/google/ground-android/issues/2565.

Is this a min. distance threshold to other geometries / corners within one polygon? Or does this also entail a threshold for GPS accuracy?

It's for fused device location (GPS and other sensors). Updated the issue title accordingly.
