I am using CLLocationManager to continuously scan location updates. I am setting desiredAccuracy which I understand is a best case- the question is, is there a way to know what the current accuracy is?

    Not sure if it answers your question, but there is `horizontalAccuracy` and `verticalAccuracy` on `CLLocation`. – Alfonso Jul 11 '14 at 13:57
  • Ahhhh, how did I miss those? Curious why horizontal and vertical accuracies are distinct values though, considering you can only set a single desiredAccuracy filter. – Keller Jul 11 '14 at 14:01

    NM, found this post useful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7402503/what-do-horizontalaccuracy-and-verticalaccuracy-of-a-cllocation-refer-to. I (incorrectly) assumed vertical/horizontal referred to lat/long. verticalAccuracy apparently refers to altitudinal accuracy. – Keller Jul 11 '14 at 14:05
  • @Fönsi if you submit your comment in the form of an answer I will gladly accept it. – Keller Jul 11 '14 at 14:07

When you get a location from the CLLocationManager you can read the effective accuracy using horizontalAccuracy and verticalAccuracy on CLLocation.
