Device location · source not disclosed by browser

May combine satellite, Wi-Fi, cellular or other positioning. High accuracy is requested; a GNSS fix cannot be verified. Blank values mean the device has not supplied that measurement.

Position timestamps are browser-reported. Receiver-derived GNSS time and device clock error are unavailable. Update frequency is controlled by the browser and device.

Accuracy history

last 60 fixes

Reported horizontal uncertainty over the last 60 updates. This is not measured position error.

Compass

NESW
—Heading unavailable

No heading available

North-up heading dial. Hold the device flat.

Course is the direction of travel relative to true north. A device compass may use magnetic north; these references can differ. Relative orientation is never treated as a compass.

Map & track

No device location received

Map loads when internet access is available. Location availability depends on the device. Map tiles require internet access.

Map tiles use OpenStreetMap when online. Recorded GPS points remain local to this device.

Distance and elevation changes are estimates from device positions and can accumulate noise. Foreground use only; screen lock may interrupt updates.

Mark Point A, move to another location, then mark Point B.

Position averaging

Remain stationary. Averaging may reduce jitter; mean reported uncertainty is not the accuracy of the averaged result.
