   I see.
   
   The accuracy reading is suppose to be the amount of meters within the real location with a 95% confidence level.
   
   So if you have a reading of 20 feet, or 6 meters... but the given location is 2 miles, or ~3200 meters away from the real location, then obviously that is wrong.. and definitely not within the 95% range.
   
   Unfortunately, there isn't anything Cordova can do about this problem as Cordova doesn't have a geolocation implementation for android, it just uses the browser implementation. For android, this plugin just simply exposes the permission model.
   
   If this is in anyway consistently reproducible, I'd consider making a bug report to the chrome webview team.
