+The radius for each point should be the standard error of the location, measured in meters from the true location. Use
+`Location.getAccuracy()` on Android or `CLLocation.horizontalAccuracy` on iOS. This value is used to determine which
+points should be considered as candidates (larger radius means more candidates) and how likely each candidate is (larger
+radius means far-away candidates are penalized less). The area to search is chosen such that the correct candidate
