No Update for Location Listener from Vehicle API

77 views Asked by At

I've added the external location listener to my app as suggested. On my test device I do not get any location update. What can I do to receive location updates?

The external location provider does only work in 'real' vehicles where the dispo pilot is connected to the vehicle. The 'external' provider gets location updates from the external antenna which 'should' deliver more accurate results as the internal 'gps' location provider.

To make your app more fault tolerant you can register to both the gps and the external location provider and let the app decide (based on the location accuracy) which location update to use.
