The accuracy indicator in our Adventure Quests’ in-game Clue Finder indicates the accuracy of your device’s compass at any given time during game play and will display either Good, Poor, or Stand Still. Each clue is plotted at a specific GPS coordinate with a pre-determined grace-radius extending around it, and your phone’s compass will let the game know where you are in relation to that location.
If the accuracy indicator says Stand Still, then you need to stand still for a moment so your phone’s compass can adjust. If Poor or Stand Still are continuously displayed during game play and standing still for several seconds doesn't change the accuracy level, you can try re-calibrating your device’s compass and check other GPS related settings.

A note about GPS devices:
GPS-enabled devices are typically accurate to within a 16-ft radius, but not all phones have the same level of accuracy. As a result, the exact location of your clue will appear to vary, when in fact it is your position that is varying based on your phone’s ability to determine your current location. The accuracy depends entirely on your phone’s capabilities. This same phenomenon can be observed when using a Google map to find your current position. Your location appears to float and changes, because your phone is “listening” for signals from navigation satellites circling the earth. This is normal and does not indicate any problem with the Cryptic Quests system. It even makes the game more fun, especially when playing with a friend, because you can sometimes “find” the exact same clue several feet apart from each other.
