Hi all. I would like to 'be notified' when the user enters a given range of certain Geo point(s).
For instance, one point could be School. When User is within 500m of the School he would get a notification (for example.) Is this the way to go: 1) Turn on LocationListener in a background service and ask for location update every 5 minutes (is that a lot?) on location update: 2) check whether new location is better than the last one 3) calculate distance of current location and School location. 4) if within range: do something. Am I transgressing something with such design ? The Idea is to have a kind of a 'proximity sensor' to certain predefined points.
