How accurate is Android GPS? [closed]

by

10 centimeters? No chance. In any event, Android is just a device OS; the actual accuracy of a GPS device is dependent on the device’s chipset. Android may be theoretically capable of accomodating devices with that level of accuracy, but that’s it.

The accuracy of GPS devices is normally not presented as a simple distance, anyway. Usually, a device’s accuracy is given as a distance along with the percentage of measurements that are within that distance from the true location. A typical accuracy for a hand-held GPS device would be something like 30% of your measurements within 50 meters of the true position (yes, the devices are typically that inaccurate).
