Expected Behavior

We want the data to be sent only when the device is moving and that the same positions are not sent

Actual Behavior

O aparelho acaba por enviar diversas vezes a mesma localização para o servidor, mesmo com o aparelho parado.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Initialise the plugin
2. Call the SDK Start Tracking method.
3. Log the location, and see BackgroundGeolocation.onHttp many request and the same position many times.

Context

We are trying to find out why the device is sending the same location several times to the url

See wiki “Debugging”. Learn to observe native logs from the plug-in. The answer is there.

[Brunocolaco]

What I need to know is if there is any reason for the lib to continue sending previous locations where the device has already passed but which it continues to send, I had up to 2000 identical positions

[christocracy]

You're probably doing something wrong and the answer is in the logs.

For example, this would create an infinite loops and generate thousands of locations:

BackgroundGeolocation.onLocation((location) => {
  BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentPosition({});
});
