Example of a detection record (i.e., each dot is an estimated animal location) for a transmitter that is eventually recovered (red dot) where; a detections of the transmitter in the final resting place are identified (i.e., after point 3) and these are queried to estimate positional error (b). This method assumes that after point 3, the transmitter did not move until it was recovered. Thus, we have (1) a ‘true location’ and (2) many location estimates (made during regular field-tracking prior to transmitter recovery) to measure positional accuracy
