Create a proximity circle

Proximity circles show how reliable your device or user position is. When a circle appears around a reported location, it indicates that your actual position may vary within the circle due to accuracy limitations. This helps you make informed decisions and navigate more safely.

The proximity circle in this interactive example consists of the following components:

  • Inner circle: Represents the area where the user's location is known with the highest confidence. Configured as a point geometry, with its icon type set to cp.
  • Outer circle: Represents a broader area with lower confidence in the user's exact location. This area can account for possible variations or inaccuracies in position data. This is a point geometry with its style type set to circle.
