Position indication controls for device locations

A system comprising one or more processors configured to:

• estimate using a first location method, a current location of a mobile device based on a first accuracy value for the first location method;
• determine a size of a first confidence circle indicative of a level of confidence in the location estimation based on the first accuracy value;
• provide for display the first confidence circle according to the determined size and a location marker representing the current location such that the location marker is positioned at a relative location within the first confidence circle;
• when a second location method associated with a second accuracy value different from the first accuracy value is available, determine an updated size of the first confidence circle by increasing a radius of the first confidence circle, wherein the second location method is different from the first location method;
• and
• provide for display a second confidence circle according to the updated size of the first confidence circle such that the first confidence circle appears to increase to the size of the updated confidence circle while the location marker remains stationary.

A non-transitory, computer readable medium on which instructions are stored, the instructions when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method, the method comprising:

• estimating using a first location method, a current location of a mobile device based on a first accuracy value for the first location method;
• determining a size of a first confidence circle indicative of a level of confidence in the location estimation based on the first accuracy value;
• providing for display the first confidence circle according to the determined size and a location marker representing the current location such that the location marker is positioned at a relative location within the first confidence circle;
• when a second location method associated with a second accuracy value different from the first accuracy value is available, determining an updated size of the first confidence circle by increasing a radius of the first confidence circle, wherein the second location method is different from the first location method;
• and
• providing for display a second confidence circle according to the updated size of the first confidence circle such that the first confidence circle appears to increase to the size of the updated confidence circle while the location marker remains stationary.
