Hi,

I developed a GPS based blackberry application. When i use this application on road in clear sky, some times it gives me location ahead of my location. In result of this i get wrong track on google map.

Please Help.

Thanks in Advance.

Yes - it happens.

My best advice is that you need to do some filtering of  the locations, discarding the occasional "flyer".

Hi Rex Doug,

Thanks for your reply.

How can i implement filtering of locations and discard occasional "flyer"?

I guess that's probably pretty specific to your application.

However, if you are taking (for example) a reading every 10 seconds, and you get a reading that is 10 miles from your last known location, then obviously this location should be discarded.

I got your point and will try it.

Is it possible that After a long run, GPS starts returning coordinates of old location while current location has been changed in blackberry 5.0.

I can't say that I have had that specific occurrence, but it definitely is possible to get weird results after a period.  You do to check what is going on and make sure that your location providers status still remains OK.  Restarting form time to time doesn't hurt either, if actual location is more important than battery life.
