bearingAccuracy

var bearingAccuracy: Float

Get the estimated bearing accuracy of this location, in degrees. We define bearing accuracy at 68% confidence. Specifically, as 1-side of the 2-sided range on each side of the estimated bearing reported by getBearing(), within which there is a 68% probability of finding the true bearing. In the case where the underlying distribution is assumed Gaussian normal, this would be considered 1 standard deviation. For example, if getBearing() returns 60, and getBearingAccuracy() returns 10, then there is a 68% probability of the true bearing being between 50 and 70 degrees.
