I have notice that after clicking on the "Average Location Button" included in a Survey123 geopoint question, a blue shaded area appears around the pin of your location.

Can this shaded area be consider a reliable representation on the map of the accuracy threshold for the given coordinates for that geopoint?

Thank you,

Jose

Hi Jose,

The size of the blue circle displayed on the map of a geopoint question does represent the positional accuracy. The smaller the circle the higher the accuracy, the larger the circle the lower the accuracy.

You can also display or store the positional accuracy as part of your survey, more information can be found here: https://community.esri.com/ideas/12080 

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Phil.
