Expected Behavior

Should track the exact locations when the ferry is moving.

Actual Behavior

Gives inaccurate locations and tracks occasionally only

The locations are received in Google map and in bg plugin when the app is in foreground and location events are listened or force started the bg plugin several times. The problem is bg plugin is started for sometimes and then it stops. Is there some methods through which we can force bg plugin to track the locations no matter the plugin has detected motion or not. For example, track my locations for the next 2 hours no matter what happens. The same issue is happening in train travel also.

What range of timestamp are you interested in from logs?

[suhairhassan]

Unfortunately we dont have the data for the exact time stamps. It was overwritten in the client logs. Is there a method to force the tracking of bg plugin despite the motion change for a fixed duration, say 2 hours?
