location accuracy

Location accuracy refers to how precisely a device or system can identify your physical position. It’s determined by the quality of signals like GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell towers used to pinpoint your location. Higher accuracy means the device can determine your position within a few meters, while lower accuracy might only narrow it down to a larger area. Factors affecting accuracy include environment (urban or rural), signal strength, and technology used. Essentially, location accuracy defines how close the estimated position is to where you actually are.
