Would it be possible to have a “RAIM-like” indicator that shows the current GPS accuracy? Other EFB apps do this already. To avoid clutter, it could perhaps normally be hidden, but appear if accuracy is less than some vertical/horizontal threshold?

There is already a small triangular coloured flag in the top left-hand corner of the Altitude instrument indicating the accuracy of the GPS derived altitude which, of course, is directly correlated with GPS accuracy. Ah, I didn't know. How does that work? I currently see a blue flag. What colours could this flag have, and how does this translate to accuracy?
