Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the example project.
2. Set the distanceFilter to 10 meters.
3. Run the application with Android Version 9.
4. Observe the frequency of location updates when not moving the device at all.

Expected results

When setting the distanceFilter to 10 meters, I expect the location updates to occur only when the device has moved at least 10 meters from the last reported location.

Actual results

The location updates are being triggered much more frequently than expected, even when the device is not moved at all.

Dear @Sikorrr,

Although I don't know the other settings I still think that the assumption is not always correct. It could be depending on the accuracy of the location and the method of determination. e.g. Is your device uses gps to fetch locations inside a building. It could be hard to determine an accurate location. Therefore, it might trigger your location updates more frequently. To investigate the issue a more detailed description of your issue could be helpful. E.g. what are the other settings. How are you testing your location (inside or outside).

Kind regards,

Tim
