Hello. When i run:

backgroundGeolocation.configure(successBackgroundGeolocation, failureBackgroundGeolocation, config);
backgroundGeolocation.start();

plugin get first coordinate and sleep ~60sec. Then continues to read the coordinates. What is the pause? How disable this pause?

It is not just that. It is how this provider was designed (to save battery power). You already provided link to the explanation, so I’m not going to repeat it. Just read it and you’ll get it. Basically location updates frequency depend on your speed.

I’m having the same issue with version 3.0.0-alpha.8. When the app goes to background, the gps is turned off and after 60 seconds it is turned on and the plugin starts tracking normally.

How can we avoid this 60 seconds pause? Any updates?
