"5 meters is fine for most use cases" is simply wrong. Yes, it might be an
appropriate average value, but developers will still end up changing it to fit
their needs.
If the ``minTime`` and ``minDistance`` parameters change before they get
configurable, I'd suggest ``0`` for both of them because it guarantees frequent
location updates. Also these parameters are treated as a hint on Androids
before JellyBean and are likely to be ignored. Using ``0`` will produce more
similar results across different Android versions.
Please note that using ``minDistance`` will not conserve battery life
effectively. From the Android docs:
> However it is more difficult for location providers to save power using
the minDistance parameter, so minTime should be the primary tool to conserving
battery life.
Also note that the NetworkListener currently uses the same parameters as
the GPSListener (60 seconds minTime).
