Thank you for this info. IPhone5 and any external device I have tried, reports best accuracy of 5 meters. I never give instructions about direction if you are closer than reported accuracy. My strategy is to get "to the edge" of accuracy to be able to report last direction. So, you should be able to know direction where to go and actually get closer than this last reported direction.
