Description

Ti.Geolocation doesn't update longitude and latitude. Sometimes I have to wait at least 50 seconds for it to update the coordinates and sometimes it takes a few minutes. I'd either drive continuously for a few feet and sometimes for a few miles or I'd be walking around my house which is a pretty big spacious house and geolocation doesn't update longitude and latitude until I wait at least 50 seconds. This is the code: https://gist.github.com/jhrockwell/a0b6e39d6832a36a0d8b

Hello, I have tested this issue and it's working fine. I get it to update to the coordinates within 10 - 15 seconds.

TESTING ENVIRONMENT

MacOS X 10.9.5, iPod iOS 8.0 Mobile SDK: 3.4.0.GA

CODE SAMPLE

tiapp.xml

      <ios>
           <plist>
               <dict>
                   <key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
                   <string>
                       Specify the reason for accessing the user’s location information.
                       This appears in the alert dialog when asking the user for permission to
                       access their location.
                   </string>
               </dict>
           </plist>
       </ios>

app.js

   if (Ti.Geolocation.locationServicesEnabled) {
       Ti.Geolocation.purpose = 'Get Current Location';
       Ti.Geolocation.accuracy = Ti.Geolocation.ACCURACY_BEST;
       Ti.Geolocation.distanceFilter = 10;
       Ti.Geolocation.preferredProvider = Ti.Geolocation.PROVIDER_GPS;
   
       Ti.Geolocation.addEventListener('location', function(e) {
           if (e.error) {
               alert('Error: ' + e.error);
           } else {
               alert("Lat: " + e.coords.latitude + ";\nlong: "+ e.coords.longitude);
           }
       });
   } else {
       alert('Please enable location services');
   }

Also i checked the KitchenSink sample. It's working fine too, Thanks.
