The data on these trees is only added if the user consents. Otherwise, it is not. I am creating an open source app with my team. Licenses are built-in the app. The GPS accuracy is about 16ft and is calculated from the phone's GPS (phone location has to be turned on for app functionality; the user can choose to share location or not). Since the app is open source, I can not confidently say where all of our users will be distributed when they capture tree images. I suspect primarily US users capturing trees in their area. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and will look into the import process.
