I could not find this answer in the manual or web.

I do not think the precision is within 10 ft. But how precise is it? Is this noted somewhere?

Why? My T is being repaired. Per the location info it looks like my T has been parked outside for the last week. So, I was a little annoyed, thinking they were not working on it. The shop rep told me it’s been inside being painted and getting ready for reassembly. The location of my T is at least 300 ft away from where it is.

This made me wonder what if I were in an emergency and my location is 300+ ft away from where I am. And my wife is giving my location from her app.

IIRC, when they put it in "service mode" that disables things like cameras and location updates. I'm sure that's been covered elsewhere...

Thanks. I could not find that service mode might disable the location tracking. I will test it when I have a chance

And don't bother checking the gear guard cameras, in case you thought about using it to see it's surroundings/location. They usually have that disabled while servicing,
