Android Question Is there a chance to speed up the GPS?

[Jose Cuevas]

Hi, I tried the GPS Sample posted in this community, but is a little slow compared with some GPS Apps that I found in the Play Store (GPS Coordinates).

"GPS Coordinates" shows the latitud and longitud in a couple of seconds, but the B4A GPS Sample it takes a little longer (almost 3 times)

Thanks in Advance.

Are you using the GPS_LocationChanged event?

Which GPS Sample are you speaking of?

Hello Beja and Klaus, thanks for your response, this is the sample that I'm using https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/gps-tutorial.6592/.

And this is the App that works faster https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woozilli.gpscoordinates

You cannot make the GPS work faster. I guess that the other app uses other location sources. Search for FusedLocationProvider.
