Can you check to see if your user has selected Automatic - Use
network-provided values?
The second question would be: Where does the location.getTime() time
come from? Is it provided by the satellite fix itself or from the
phone. If from the phone then it's not really relevant how the user
sets
try usin the time tick event instead of systime... u cud keep track of the
time ticks elapsed...
since u said couple of minutes:
I'm trying to check the age of a GPS fix, so that I can discard
location fixes that are more than, say, a couple of minutes old - I
need my fix to be very accurate.
I just did a test.
location.getTime() 1248184334000
System.currentTimeMillis() 1248184346934
It appears as if the GPS tracks time down to the second and it can
vary from the Automatic setting by quite a bit. This example shows a
variance of about 100 seconds between the two.
Perhaps the best

Yes, that's exactly what I have done - I've saved the time of the
first fix, and compare it to the time of the latest fix.
If the two are the same when the time comes to check location, i.e.
there is no time difference, I know that there hasn't been an update
during the life of the
