Bug? Location object in B4i behave differently from B4A

[Alessandro71]

working on a GPS-related app on both platforms, I saw that the Location object has different behavior:
Initialize Sub is not available in B4i
Members like Latitude and Longitude are read only in B4i
Is there a rationale behind this different behavior?

This is not a bug. These are two wrappers of two completely different APIs.

[B4X] Fused Location B4xLibrary

Hey everyone, I created this B4X library to avoid the different implementations of GPS Locating in B4A and B4i. In B4A it uses the FusedLocationProvider and in B4i it uses the iLocation Library. The code for the FusedLocationProvider in B4A is taken and changed slighly from this thread...

thank you, my implementation is already done, i was just trying to use the Location object to pass location data between my code, but since it can't be initialized and set at will, i'll have to write my own Location object
