Re: [android-developers] Re: requestLocationUpdates ignore minTime parameter?

From the .requestLocationUpdates() documentation:

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.

Mr. Murphy alerted me to this a while back. It's surprising, but
ultimately, the minTime parameter is just a hint...
