Android Question GPS vs FusedLocationProvider

[Tomas Petrus]

Hi guys,

What is the main difference between GPS and FusedLocationProvider and what is the recommended approach ?

In driver app we use fused as service to log car movement 24/7.

I am now finishing client app and there are different requirements - I just need best GPS position ASAP and only on request to show on the map and to geocode to adress and show it to the client for confirmation of the place where he want to be pickuped by taxi.

So I am just using GPS lib and solving it in Main.

What is the recommended approach.

With GPS lib is there any posibility to clear lastlocation ? or force location change to be able to get actual GPS when I want ?

Thanks

Take a look here.
As Fused Location promises better device location finding at less battery cost, it seems that Fused Location might be a better choice...
