Re: [iPad] Location.... Bluetooth

 

Outdoors WiFi has an effective signal radius of about 300 feet. Using only an SSID for location places you anywhere in that 100,000 sqft area. 

Bluetooth has a signal range of 30 feet (outdoors). So placing your BT in to the Discovery mode can use any Bluetooth IDs detected to reduce your location radius to around 90 sqft, especially when you factor in BLE Beacons.

Using both signals one can set your location more accurate.

Maybe it means that cellular and wifi can make it accurate to a degree, say a few metres, but BT can hone that into accurate within a few feet? Given its range is only 30 feet
