Remi Boardman created CB-13604: ---------------------------------- Summary: Returned location coordinates are very inaccurate after requesting location for a period of time while not connected to wifi Key: CB-13604 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13604 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Bug Components: cordova-android, cordova-ios, cordova-plugin-geolocation Affects Versions: 7.0.1 Environment: OS X 10.12.5 iOS 10.1.1 iPhone 6s Android 7.0 Motorola G4 Ionic v1 (latest) Reporter: Remi Boardman Assignee: Joe Bowser
While requesting a location every 10 seconds using an interval, I consistently see the accuracy of returned positions suddenly jump to several kilometers. To debug this I saved the accuracy of each location request to an array and each time I tested, the accuracy began at around 10-65 metres then jumped to around 2km on Android and over 10km on iOS after around 6-7 minutes consistently. The returned coordinates continue to be very innaccurate for several minutes and then return to between 10-65 metres. Here is a subset of the location accuracy array on iOS when the issue is present: {quote} [ 65, 65, 65, 65, 10079, 10079, 10079, 10079 ] {quote} As far as I can tell, this issue is only present when the device is not connected to a wifi network. I can reproduce this behaviour on both iOS and Android, while inside and stationary, and while travelling on foot with line of sight to the sky. I have ensured the app remains in the foreground while testing and the device/screen is awake. I make no changes to the App or device when the accuracy decreases. I have tried with and without {{enableHighAccuracy}} enabled and the behaviour does not change. I have {{maximumAge}} set to zero and a {{timeout}} of 10000 milliseconds. I am using {{navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition}} for each request. {{watchPosition}} does not suit my purpose because I am only updating the database with returned coordinates every 10 seconds. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
