Anyone know what kind location accuracy Bluetooth 5 currently has?

According to the below two articles. It’s 1-5 meters in optimal conditions. And some of it may require additional hardware for tracking.

Thanks for digging those up! I figured it was somewhere around that range. I’ve had it be fairly accurate within a couple feet, but I’ve also had Bluetooth proximity show much further.
