Windows-Geolocator returns chached positions after about 15 minutes

I use the PositionChanged-Event from the Windows-Geolocator to display the users current location on a map. Everything works fine, but after about 15 minutes, the geolocator only returns positions that are quite old (30 seconds to one minute):

Here is a snippet from my logfile:

2021-04-06 18:07:23,787 INFO [127:WindowsGnssPositionProvider:LocatorOnPositionChanged()] -> LocatorOnPositionChanged vom Geolocator: Long: xxxx, Lat: xxxx, Accuracy: 4, Timestamp: 06.04.2021 18:06:22 +02:00, Source: Satellite

The distance becomes greater, the more time passes.

This is my geolocator instantiation:

geolocator = new Geolocator() { DesiredAccuracy = PositionAccuracy.High, ReportInterval = 1000 }; geolocator.PositionChanged += Geolocator_PositionChanged;

Is there a way to solve this problem or to clear the cache from the geolocator?

Since this is related to Microsoft's WinRT APIs, you might have more luck with asking in the Microsoft forums, but it might all depend on which device you use to get locations from (and its driver), whether you have a clear view of the sky etc.

I'm Sorry, this was a issue in my own implementation and not by the Geolocator or ESRI Sdk.
