Determine an accurate position: MIN_TIME_INTERVAL in LocationSensor to be set by the programmer. #2106

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Hi All,

In one of my app's I use the LocationSensor for walking purposes. 
(www.WalkTheCity.eu, still available in Dutch only).

In "LocationSensor.java" the time between GPS-updates is set to "public static 
final long MIN_TIME_INTERVAL = 60000;", which is 1 minute.

At a speed of 5 km/hr this is 83 meter, which is far to much to give users an 
accurate direction or information at a specific location. 25 Meters or 18,000 
milliseconds (despite the battery cost) would be much nicer.

Is it posibble to make the MIN_TIME_INTERVAL to be set by the programmer?

Regards,

Sjaak Bosman
