I am writing a UWP application and in one case I need to use geolocation from Windows. For this I use Windows.Devices.Geolocation.Geolocator. However, there is a problem with accuracy. For example, if the location sensor gives me data with error radius of 3.87, then the Geocoordinate shows this value as 3, even though Accuracy property has double type.
Data in location sensor:
What I receive from Geolocator:
Accuracy property is double:
It seems that the Geolocator simply takes the integer part of the number and ignores the fractional. However, a problem occurs when error radius value is less than one.
Data in sensor:
What I receive from Geolocator:
In this case, I get an Accuracy value of 0.
The documentation (here) says that if the Accuracy value is 0, then accuracy level is unknown and Location API gives priority to sensors that provide a non-zero value.
SENSOR_CATEGORY_LOCATION doc:
Geolocator begins to take data by IP address with an Accuracy of 165852 meters (for him, this data is more accurate than 0)
Geoposition using IP address:
The fact is that I always need to work with a sensor that gives an accuracy of less than 1 meter.
Has anyone encountered such a problem? And what decision did you make?
