The coloured dots on the map help you understand how your AirBolt GPS location was determined and the expected level of accuracy.


Simply put:

Green = GPS Location

Highest accuracy


Blue = Backup Location Estimation
Medium accuracy


Red = Backup Location Estimation
Lowest accuracy


Green locations are generated using GPS and will generally provide the most precise position.


Blue and red locations are provided by AirBolt's Backup Location Estimation service when an accurate GPS location is not available. The colour gives you an indication of the estimated location's expected accuracy.



To get the most accurate location results from your AirBolt GPS, it is important to understand both GPS positioning and how the Backup Location Estimation service works.


We recommend reading the following article for guidance on positioning your device for the best possible GPS signal and understanding how cellular-based location estimation is used when GPS is unavailable:
