Question

I am using android fused location api to get the latitude and longitude of same position but every time i get different latitude and longitude of same position last 4 digits vary every time at same position why so and how to get all the possible latitude & longitude of same position.

So please help me regarding this.

GPS has not that much accuracy for point. even you stay at one point for a long time it gives some variation. — , May 04 '15 at 05:07
You can calculate distance between old and new and make some distance prediction like >100m. — , May 04 '15 at 05:18
You can set the accuracy according to your needs and filter the location updates — Gautam, May 04 '15 at 05:30
you can use getAccuracy() method like if(location.getAccuracy <50) now you can either remove listening more updates as less than 50m accuracy fulfill your needs or do whatever you like. — Gautam, May 04 '15 at 05:43
Why was this question downgraded? The question is fully legitimate. This is right the decimals on the coords are changing at every request. — lortschi, Oct 20 '22 at 08:56

Location is generally accurate to only a city block, and will change within that. Try rounding off the coordinates to two decimal places and use those.

Rounding two decimal places will not work, because even if you move to some 10 to 20 meters away from the desired location, the first two decimals of lati & long will be same. – Arshad Shaik Mar 20 '19 at 09:01
