So you if you specify 60 minutes and 60 meters, the check won't even run for at least an hour. After that it will check for the distance. If the distance criteria is not met, I'm not sure how it determines when to check again. Probably some heuristics based on the current distance changed. And if that's the case does it make any difference whether I specify 5, 10, > or 100 miles as the trigger? > Well you won't get any updates until 5, 10, or 100 miles, after the initial time has expired.

I believe it is not whichever comes first - both conditions must be met for the notification to go off. It would not make sense otherwise. For example, if you set min time to 60 minutes and distance to zero if you did not care how far you'd moved, you'd always get notified despite the time not expiring due to having "move zero". Similarly if you specified 0 time and 60k distance, if it was either, you'd still get constant updates due to the 0 minutes parameter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
