E edgar_ortiz Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Nov 18, 2016 #3 Erel, I know the knowledge you have (and I appreciate the contributions you make) ... but I CAN NOT believe that GPS library is the best solution. When GPS library does not work indoors, when the response time is VERY slow, etc. I take the opportunity to ask: Can you think of a "mixed" solution? (GPS library and FusedLocationProvide).

This is is not related to the GPS library. It is related to the fact that the GPS hardware doesn't receive the satellites signals. The best way to find the current location is with FusedLocationProvider. If you are only interested in GPS position then you should use GPS library. Upvote 0
