you're probably using network location which gives you the illusion of a quicker GPS fix. Switch that off, then start the camera app, and see how long it takes to get a real GPS fix. We're talking tens of seconds here. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

If you start the gps fix early on in the application, perhaps have an activity they go to before they take the picture, or, at least, let them know there is no GPS fix, then you can get the time to get that before they take the picture.

I gave absolutely zero information about what I experience. Probably? app, and see how long it takes to get a real GPS fix. We're talking tens of seconds here. Well, for me it's five seconds, and all the times I've used geo location for photos that five seconds has never bothered me much. It's comparable to the time to do a local search from Google Maps for Mobile, for example. Perhaps I am unique. Perhaps I measure latency against what other apps provide, and since they are all in that five-second range it seems normal. There are a couple of us now who suggested prefetch. Is that an idea that would work for you? What evidence have you gathered to find the threshold at which [y]our users may not be willing to wait? Are users generally bothered by a five-second delay for GPS? I'm thinking you have a tendency to leap to conclusions, well, assumptions disguised as conclusions. You might have fallen into Knuth's famous premature optimization trap. You assumed things (probably) about my configuration and even what I experience on my phone. Have you assumed things about what users typically experience and can tolerate? Shouldn't you have some facts in hand before investing, possibly wasting effort solving a tier-2 or -3 problem? That said, some sort of coordinate prefetch-and-cache strategy might make your app the new standard that has people impatient with all the others. -- Lew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I take that back, I did say that I never noticed the delay. Still, how you get from that to my configuration is a reach. As it happens I never turn on network location. -- Lew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I was responding to your posts. You don't have to be the OP for me to answer what you wrote. Perhaps I erred in thinking your comments were a response to my post, though, in which case I apologize. -- Lew On Saturday, December 31, 2011 1:11:00 PM UTC-8, lbendlin wrote: You do realise that I am not the OP, right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Unless you are moving quite rapidly or you need very, very precise locations, you can grab the location coordinates once for a series of photos, starting before they snap the first shot. There shouldn't be a need to reach out to the GPS separately for each and every photo. You might be able to use a background thread to poll for GPS coordinates every so often if the device is moving. Consider that the most frequent use case for photos is a series at one location. You also might be able to interleave capture and display of the image with a delayed, background retrieval of GPS data to avoid the manifestation of a wait. lbendlin, how much is the time cost to get GPS data, and why would the GPS be just starting up when the user is taking pictures. I've taken geo-located pictures a number of times with my Android phone and I've never noticed any GPS delay in human scale. Are we talking microseconds, milli-, tens of, ...? Unless the delay approaches one second or higher, I don't anticipate users even noticing, much less becoming impatient. lbendlin wrote: Sure, write your own Camera app and put the data into the image EXIF. Be aware that getting location data has a time cost especially when the GPS is just starting up.
