Or to be more precise - they are always the same.

Minimal testcase:

import QtPositioning 5.2

PositionSource {
    active : true
    id: ps
    onPositionChanged: {console.log("h/v accuracy:", ps.position.horizontalAccuracy, ps.position.verticalAccuracy)}
}

Just run it with something qmlscene/sailfish-qml. You will get something similar to:

[D] QWaylandEglIntegration::QWaylandEglIntegration:58 - Using Wayland-EGL
h/v accuracy: -1 -1
QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'QGeoPositionInfo'
h/v accuracy: 20 20
h/v accuracy: 20 20
h/v accuracy: 20 20
h/v accuracy: 19 19
h/v accuracy: 21 21
h/v accuracy: 22 22
h/v accuracy: 23 23
h/v accuracy: 23 23
h/v accuracy: 22 22

Great finding! I was suspecting there was a location related bug somewhere. Out of votes for today...

I've seen the same behaviour, the hardware of the Jolla is only giving one accuracy value.

Well, that's rather unfortunate if it really turns out to be a hardware limitation.
