Context

We cannot increase the sample rate. Right now the sample rate is above 2 seconds. We have tried changing the interval in the configuration and we have tried many other combinations in the configuration.

this is the configuration we are using

this.model.geo_location.configure({
      locationProvider: BackgroundGeolocationLocationProvider.DISTANCE_FILTER_PROVIDER,
      startForeground: true,
      notificationTitle: '',
      notificationText: 'enabled',
      interval: 0,
      debug: false,
      desiredAccuracy: 0,
      stationaryRadius: 0,
      distanceFilter: 3,
      fastestInterval: 500,
    });

Expected Behavior

We would like to sample as close to 1 second.

Actual Behavior

Sample rate is higher than 2 seconds.

Possible Fix

Steps to Reproduce

1. we are using model.geo_location.start(); to start recording the points
2. model.geo_location.stop() to stop recording the points
3. geo_location.getValidLocations(). to retrieve all recorded points

ok this has been fixed now. Seems like we can get the needed sample rate only by switching provider to ACTIVITY_PROVIDER.
