What do you require assistance about?
Right now, we are having two issues
- For some reason we are not getting the events/location updates when the app stays in the background or kill mode (for up to even more than 5 minutes), despite moving at 70 mph the whole time so the distance is over 6 miles.
What settings should we change to stop this from happening so we can keep getting proper location updates to show real time tracking?
2. Sometimes we don’t receive events for a couple of seconds to minutes and we see activity changes from in-vehicle to still. Why is this happening and what settings should we change to receive consistent updates with the distance filter we have chosen?
