Blue flash light (Arc) on Google Maps
2
Is there any way to have access to the blue flash light appears on google map? I have read in different forums that this blue arc is representative of the reliability of the magnet sensor, is there any way to have access to it in android?

@SharartiKAKI there is a blue dot that indicates your location and recently there is a beam on the blue dot that will now also indicate your direction of movement. The beam get narrow and wide based on the reliability of magnet sensors, I wonder if there is a way to have access to that measure of reliability Google uses. Below link may make my question more clear: droid-life.com/2016/09/20/blue-dot-google-maps

@SharartiKAKI Thanks. As we know the direction of movement estimation on Android is based on the magnet sensors. Android outputs the direction of movement with some measures of reliability(blue arc or blue beam on the screen). Google shows this measure of reliability with a blue beam( arc or flashlight) on the screen. The wider the beam is, the less reliable the output of the magnet sensor and consequently the direction of movement is. I need to have access to this measure of reliability google uses to show that beam on the screen.

I went through Android SDK for magnet outputs. I have found one method that measure the accuracy of magnet based direction of movement. Have you seen following method?
@Override
public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int i) {
if(sensor.getType() == Sensor.TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD){
}
}
This outputs the accuracy in 4 levels for magnet based heading estimation.
