>The docs say: minTime the minimum time interval for notifications, in milliseconds. This field is only used as a hint to conserve power, and actual time between location updates may be greater or lesser than this value. In practice this is just that, a hint, you can look through the LocationManager implementation if you'd like to find out exactly why this happening, but I wouldn't worry about it too much, what are you worried about? If you only need the location at very coarse intervals, have you thought of using requestSingleUpdate, then waiting some long amount of time? Here you have much better control over the temporal distribution of your updates. (I'm assuming you're concerned about power usage..)
