GPS accuracy adjustments to location widget

Just wondering if anyone knows a relatively easy way to adjust the
threshold for automatic location recording in the location widget with
map? It seems on the android phones I've tried my survey on, the location
gets automatically recorded as soon as the GPS accuracy reading gets below
5 m. I've stared using a Garmin GLO bluetooth GPS recorder, which has
allowed me to start recording to below 1.5m accuracy (according to the
widget), but instead of allowing me to wait until I get the lowest possible
accuracy reading, the widget records the location instantly as soon as it
drops below 5m. I'd like to change the workings of the widget to not
record the location until the "record location" button is pressed. Is this
possible?

Thanks,

Jason

Currently no. I've filed it as a feature request at
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=698. Star it to
get updates (or to submit a patch).

HI Jason,
How did you start using the bluetooth GPS ? Would you mind explaining ?

This will be in the next maintenance release.
