So, I have this airtag on an item at home for which I frequently get false alarms for tracking, despite it not moving with me. It seems to me like it is using for location also points reported by android which have a very high uncertainty, mainly those only used via triangulation of cell towers. Since those have a very high uncertainty (often >500m), it does not really make sense to use this as a location, and instead rely more on a gps fix or thelike (<20m uncertainty? <50m? dunno). That way most if not all of my false positives could be avoided

I noticed when I am at work / school that my location jumps to a nearby university around 500m away too. My coworkers have a lot of apple airpods following me from class to class in the same building, thats why it triggered a tracking alarm and i noticed this behaviour.
I don't know if thats just my phone doing weird stuff with my location or if that is due to a too inaccurate measurement the app deemed as ok to use.
It SHOULD use locations with high uncertainty, but in doing so, should make sure that the distance between the beacons exceeds the sum of the two accuracies.
