LocationService.Start

Description

Starts location service updates. Last location coordinates could be.

Retrieved via Input.location.lastData. Service does not start to send location data immediately. Code should check Input.location.status for current service status. desiredAccuracyInMeters - desired service accuracy in meters. Using higher value like 500 usually does not require to turn GPS chip on and thus saves battery power. Values like 5-10 could be used for getting best accuracy. Default value is 10 meters. updateDistanceInMeters - the minimum distance (measured in meters) a device must move laterally before Input.location property is updated. Higher values like 500 imply less overhead. Default is 10 meters.
