I know that the GPS altitude data isn't particularly reliable, so I looked for alternatives. This looks like a good solution I found here: But the value returned is not what I expected: -1.79769313486231E+308 I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this figure...

I live in an area which is 9 feet above sea level, and when I call getAltitude I get back a value less than -10. Am I doing something wrong, is my device a failure, or is there some nifty scale that I don't know about?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know how to get the calculated GPS position via getLastKnownLocation (). As tests show, this function really always returns the last known location, so it doesn't matter if there is a gps fix available.
How can i check if the returned location is reliable? I tried it with getAccurracy(), but this function even returns a accurracy although no gps fix is availavle (anymore). Is there a possibility to get gps dop values? Used SDK is 1.6.
I am working on an app that fetches localized data from the Web based on the user's long/lat. Currently I am querying the system for the best enabled provider [my criteria defines best basically as most precise--not sure if this is the best idea for my application, as at the point where I fetch data it really doesn't matter if the user is here or 3 miles from here.].. But anyhow, I'm curious as to what is most reliably the fastest Location provider? Network or GPS? My app hangs a bit "Acquiring your location" on my loading screen and I'd like to cut this wait time down as much as possible.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to store location data in sqlite. A latitude coordinate is a double, with 15 point precision. As far as I can tell this corresponds with the 'REAL' datatype which is 8 bytes. The alternative I suppose would be to store it as a String, and simply convert it back into a double later. Does it make any odds which way I go? Are there differences in storage capacity / efficiency?

No location folder found under data->location->gps directory for 1.1, which contains the mock provider file.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working on an application that requires an approximate position of the user, so basically i am fine with any relatively recent location data i can get. However I can't seem to get things right using mock location data and would therefore appreciate your help. The method i'm having tries to set mock location data for the gps provider and tries to later retrievie it BUT: locationManager.setTestProviderEnabled("gps", true); seems to fail because i do not get any active location provider from the location manager. When I tried using a mock location provider with addTestProvider and give it my mock location, the LocationManager returns me this mock provider with getProviders(true) but then getLastKnownLocation returns null instead of the provided mock location.

Running CM10.2 GS4
So I have successfully gotten OpenPdroid patched on my CM10.1.3 rom, but it isn't behaving the way I would expect. I set the coordinates to 25N 71W for all apps with access to location information. I configured this across all apps requesting GPS as well as Network Location data. I then fired up my browser and navigated to google maps. The location shown was my actual physical location. What gives?
FTR, I'm willing to follow instructions and experiment to determine the root cause of the problem. I didn't want to give too many unnecessary details in my initial post. My strategy is "start general, get more specific as needed."
Will be going on a trip soon and roaming is expensive so data will be off most of the time. I'm thinking of using location history to keep a record of the trip route.
Does location history works without internet access? Will it store the location and sync when theres internet access or flat out don't work at all?
I went to drill today and most of the people in my unit has a droid x except one person has a droid 2. Well both did a speed test. He was at 2.4mb and I was at 1.3mb so im confused. We start looking through our settings to compare. He is on max battery saver with all location services on. Im on max performance with no location services on. So I turn on wireless network location services and retest. I get 2.2mb just like that. Does anyone know why it would make a difference? Also I noticed his reception was at- 70db while I was at- 82. Can anyone think of why he would have better reception than me?

The data for both is the same but I don't want 2 locations(one named) for the same data.
