Crash, I imagine that is a broad value served up by Android which attempts to speculate a conservative error value rather than actually deriving it mathematically - otherwise Runway HD could reliably use that error value to cancel the actual error.


There are lots of different ways that GPS error can creep in (such as atmospheric effects like inconsistencies in the ionosphere) and the device cant account for them all.
