Hi, Alexey. I'm guessing that you are using an iphone, right? I don't know much about iphones and if that's what you are on I'd ask someone else to help with the explanation.
On my Android device there are three factors. 1. The radius defined in "contexts and locations" for each location that you have set up. This one defines how big the location is. You would set a smaller value for an urban streetcorner than for a major sports stadium. 2. The radius defined in settings>nearby. This one defines how far from the target location you can be and still consider it "nearby" 3. The third one, I will call location precision. If I am using GPS, the location the device thinks it is at is within 5 to 15 meters of its actual location on a good day while outside. When GPS is off to save battery, and I'm outside the range of wifi transmitters known to Google, and I'm in an area with low density of cell towers, I have had my device identify a location as much as 5km from where I am. You should probably set a value for your nearby radius that is no smaller than your location precision. If you look at the map in the nearby view, and if you tap the pin for the location involved you will see a circle around the pin with a radius set in #1 above, and a dot for your device's estimate of your current location, with a circle with radius set in #2 above. First check to ensure that your actual location falls somewhere in the nearby circle. If so, then check if the nearby circle and the location circle touch each other. If they do, then the distance between your device's presumed location and your target location is less than the target radius plus the nearby radius and the target is considered nearby. -Dwight Mlo betazoid on Android sgn2 On Oct 12, 2015, Alexey Lyubarets <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi Arthur, > >May I also ask you why NearBy widget which is set to radius 0.1 km in >settings shows a shop which is 0.285 km away from my location according >to >the widget itself? > >Thank you, >Alexey > >On Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 5:24:12 AM UTC+3, Dwight Arthur wrote: >> >> Hi, Alexey.
