How accurate are the real time icons of the iphone location that come up in the Find my phone app? What does the blue circle mean around the phone icon

If the phone has a good signal from multiple sources.......cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, other phones etc., Find My can display the location very accurately at about 10-15 feet, or 3-4 meters.


The smaller the blue circle, the more accurate the location. If you don't see a blue circle, the location details are really good.
