I'm looking at writing an application which includes functionality similar to Google's My Tracks (with some additional data collection support and a specialized user interface).
If periodic location updates are requested with a minimum update delay provided but the phone goes to sleep either by timeout or explicit user request, will the phone wake up every minTime ms to poll? If not, do I need to grab PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK for my application to be able to record the user's path, or will a more conservative approach (such as setting an alarm to run every minTime ms, waking on the alarm, keeping the CPU awake until a location update is received, and then going back to sleep) work? Is there a better way to periodically poll position without running more of the phone hardware than necessary which I haven't thought of yet? Do I need to be concerned about GPS reacquisition time if the CPU has been off since the most recent query?
