Typical GPS position accuracy is 3-10 meters in average. A position from NETWORK_PROVIDER can be derived from the WiFi or cellular networks which obviously have different accuracy. WiFi position accuracy: 20-70 Cell position: 100-500
You can get some idea about these values by looking at your position on Google map and turning on/off GPS and WiFi. The circle around this position shows error estimation.
