Receiving GPS Location take too much time on windows phone

Haider_AliFaheem

Hello Everyone,

i am testing to receive GPS point on Mobile Application on different windows phone(Lumia 550.Lumia 640,Lumia 740 XL) and it is taking nearly a minute to capture the GPS location.

i also tested following sample from esri and it also have the same behavior.

arcgis-runtime-samples-dotnet/src/Forms/Shared/Samples/Location/DisplayDeviceLocation at master · Esri/arcgis-runtime-sa…

i run the same sample on android and iOS and it is working fine and receive the GPS point in couple of seconds.

why it is taking too much time only on Windows phone.is it the issue of windows Native Api or some ArcGIS runtime have some checks which don't allow signal with low accuracy or something.

Windows OS version 10.0.14393, 10.0.15063

ArcGIS Runtime SDk for Xamarin 100.2.1

Thanks

Haider

The location service relies on the phone's location APIs to provide a location. Do you see the same long delay when using the built-in maps app? Is the phone connected online, does it have a clear view of the sky etc?

Morten thanks for the reply,yes i checked the built in maps app and there is no delay as soon i click on the gps but map app show the location and zoom to that location and location is also very accurate

Thanks for confirming. To try and pinpoint what's going on, is it always an entire minute, or only the first time you load the app (ie if you shut the app down after getting a location and start back up immediately, it _should_ be faster) ?

Also if you're moving/walking outside, will it show up faster?

no it is everytime take very long ,even if map activity close and open it again.after getting the gps location first time if you disable the LocationDisplay and Start again then it is immediate without closing the form then it is immediate
