Q: Concern about accuracy of frequent location: Pinpointed my exact location.

My frequent location services is freaking me out.  I have never seen this type of blue circle before when i have checked and the unshaded point is exactly where my phone was about 10 minutes prior.

Then 30 seconds later:

This seems really strange to me within 30 seconds pinpointed exact location and then a large radius within the same minute.

 

Any ideas???? What the heck is going on??

 

Thanks in advance for any help!!!!

    So don't look at it.

     

    It doesn't need to be accurate within a few feet.

    I don't understand what your freaked out about. It appears that your phone is doing what it's supposed to be doing.
