Hi guys,
i’m creating an app that track the GPS position (like a walking app) and save them into firebase database.
All work well but the GPS position is not very accurate.
i use google maps with the block “Get my location” but i see that there is also location sensor that the position.
what is the best way to take an accurate GPS position ?
Thanks
Did You try ?
thanks but it is not what i search.
i make an example:
i run my app, i press a button that start to track my position.
i use the onLocationChange that save lat and long of my position in firebase database but the problem is that is too sensitive/inaccurate because when i’m stopped in a place a new lat and long are stored in the database.
i would that when i’m stopped in a place only one coordinate are stored in the database.

Is this new latitude and longitude the same or different? Don’t you care if you’re new? Or do you want only N in N meters?
i’m stopped in a place, i’m not moving and this is the result in firebase:
that is the problem!
i want to save the coordinates only if i walking or running because each point will be a marker and when i’m stopped in a place i want only one marker.
If you put a condition to record in Firebase? Only record on Firebase if the difference between new and old latitude and longitude is greater than N?
Perhaps because 0.001 is too small. See degrees and radians. And calculate how much each 0.001 radian in degrees means.
1 degree =1852m
1 degree = how many radians?

i use this DistanceCalc : Calculate distance between two places from coordinates and now works perfectly !
