Description
I'm making a generic google map (for now) with live user location:
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(
({coords}) => {
const {latitude, longitude} = coords
this.setState({
position: {
latitude,
longitude,
},
region: {
latitude,
longitude,
latitudeDelta: 0.0922,
longitudeDelta: 0.0421,
}
})
},
(error) => alert(JSON.stringify(error)),
{enableHighAccuracy: true, timeout: 20000, maximumAge: 0, distanceFilter: 0}
)
However, the current position's update rate is very slow--at about 5-8 second/update.
I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or an expected behavior, but I've built a similar app using ionic + google map javascript api and the update rate is real-time, so I don't think this 5-8 second/update rate is normal.
Reproducible Demo
Please check out my issue branch to reproduce the app/bug.

It looks like you are using an older version of React Native. Please update to the latest release, v0.57 and verify if the issue still exists.
The ":rewind:Old Version" label will be removed automatically once you edit your original post with the results of running

As I’m digging around, looks like the
enableHighAccuracyoption is somehow not working properly because I can get accurate returns fromwatchPositionincludingheading,speed, andaccuracyif I open other map apps such as Google Maps and iOS’ Maps and jump back to my app. But it only operates for a few seconds before it starts returning the “less accurate” results (most noticibleaccuracyjumps from10to65and of course the much less often location return rate).MariamMobeen commentedon Mar 22, 2019
How did you solve it?
