Manual location setup using ESTLocationBuilder

The flow is more or less like this:

  1. Orient yourself along the Y axis of your location. For example, looking at the room attached to this StackOverflow question, you can stand anywhere in the room as long as you have the Beacon2 in front of you, Beacon4 behind you, Beacon1 to your left and Beacon2 to your right. Here’s my crude attempt to depict that: (the arrow shows which way to face)

  1. Open the compass app and read the value it shows. Note that due to magnetic fluctuations, it might be a good idea to measure this in multiple parts of the room, and take an average or the most common value.

  2. Put this value into the setLocationOrientation:.

  3. Profit! :moneybag: :smile:
