Description
Currently GPS Logger records the horizontal accuracy (at the 68th percentile confidence level) of all the GPS Fixes.
Starting from Android 8.0 (API level 26) the Locations can contain accuracies for altitude, speed and bearing.
Since the 90% of our user base have Android 8 or above, it is time to consider to add this feature.
Obviously the app would still work on older Android versions (the app is compatible with Android 4.0+, aka API14): in this case simply the accuracies would not be recorded.
We should think if and where these new accuracies could be shown into the user interface, but as first step we can start to save them into the database.
They could be exported into the txt files (we opened the issue #227 to manage this task).
Maybe in the future the vertical accuracy could improve the computing of vertical distance.
