Frequency:reporting intervals...

[marsu211]

Hello,

Introduction:

I have tested >50 GPS trackers and smartphones (iOS and Android). Different makes and models from expensive to very cheap.
The best GPS tracker I have found so far is an Apple smartphone, but this is a very expensive gameplay.
I have decided to go for a cheaper Android alternative, but there is an issue I would like to understand (maybe solve).

The issue:

When I set frequency to 2 seconds (that is what we need), the best we get is every 6 seconds a trace, but mainly between 20 seconds to 5 minutes.
As long as the device doesn't move, we don't care about not getting a trace, but while the device moves, we need to know exactly where this is located.

Any idea on how to improve this? Any idea what on Android is holding the device in sending no less than 6 seconds?

Thank you in advance for every suggestions

What location provider are you using? Also, I'm not sure how it's related to Traccar Manager app.

Seems to be better now. I have set 1 phone at 1 second. It looks like that GPS reception might also be an issue..
I'm using in mixed mode.

Oh! Sorry wrong forum thread....it's related to client and not manager...sorry for the mistake

Thx Anton

GPS in phones update at 1hz, so max you could log is 1 position per second. If you wanted higher it would need an external GPS adapter 5/10/20hz etc. But the client app i dont think supports external bluetooth gps adapters.
