What do you require assistance about?
We have obtained the license[]flutter-geo-location] and implemented the API on our production server. However, we are noticing sudden jumps in map points during trips, which I’ve attached for your reference. Instead of a point based-line, the trips sometimes show zig-zag patterns.
Could you please help us understand why this issue is occurring and guide us on how to resolve it? i have checked your code on github but unable to find any solution.
For your reference, we are using the following code to fetch the user’s current location during a trip:
bg.BackgroundGeolocation.getCurrentPosition(
persist: true,
desiredAccuracy: 40, // <-- desire an accuracy of 40 meters or less
maximumAge: 10000, // <-- Up to 10s old is fine.
timeout: 3000, // <-- wait 30s before giving up.
samples: 1, // <-- sample just 1 location
extras: {"getCurrentPosition": true},
).then((bg.Location location) {
showLog('[getCurrentPosition] - $location');
var param = bg.Config(
reset: true,
debug: false,
logLevel: bg.Config.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE,
desiredAccuracy: bg.Config.DESIRED_ACCURACY_HIGH,
