The Package geolocator from pub.dev is needed.

Function to get LocationAccuracyStatus:

getLocationAccuracy() async {
    LocationAccuracyStatus accuracyStatus =
        await Geolocator.getLocationAccuracy();
    if (accuracyStatus == LocationAccuracyStatus.reduced ||
        accuracyStatus == LocationAccuracyStatus.unknown) {
      //Bad Signal
    } else {
      //Good Signal
    }
  }

The getAccuracy() method of the Location object returned by onLocationChanged provides a good indication of how good the "fix" is.

GpsStatus. getSatellites();
//for each of those do 
GpsSatelite. getSnr();
//that ruturns the signal to noise ratio
//use with
GpsStatus.Listener

Heres the api docs: Location manager - GpsStatus - GpsSatelite
