I agree that the developers neglected to add such randomness to his report. But totally removing such a value from his report is like "throwing the kid out with the bathwater". You can allways round it off to the nearest 500m or 1km mark, yourself. And with OLCs implementation of the Range and AOB finder you can do it yourself and get the reasonable amount of randomness/measurement error.

[EDIT] Bearing isn't that exact. How wide do you think it (1 degree) is at 16 km range? And that is only before plotting it on the map. Placing the line adds another bit of directional error. That's why I do not rely much on the 3m15 interval. The uncertainty of position plots is then well beyond 100 meters. I average over longer periods.
