We have a type field in the EnhancedLocationUpdate class. This field can be either ACTUAL or PREDICTED and is meant to inform users whether a location was predicted by the Mapbox SDK or whether it is an actual location update from the GPS. There are a few issues with this:
We were advised by Mapbox to disable predictions in the SDK so we should never receive a predicted location.
Given the above, it looks like the type field brings more noise than helpful information, so perhaps we should consider whether it should be removed or changed in some way?
