I have one issue is geo Locator that I have declared Time as 10 sec. then also in Android: it updates after 10 or more than 10 sec., In IOS: it updates in every sec. This is my Code:

  public async void CurrentLocation()
  {

    try
    {
        await CrossGeolocator.Current.StartListeningAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), 0, true, new Plugin.Geolocator.Abstractions.ListenerSettings
        {
            ActivityType = Plugin.Geolocator.Abstractions.ActivityType.AutomotiveNavigation,
            AllowBackgroundUpdates = true,
            DeferLocationUpdates = true,
            DeferralDistanceMeters = 1,
            //DeferralTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10),
            ListenForSignificantChanges = false,
            PauseLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false

        });
        count++;
        CrossGeolocator.Current.PositionChanged += changedPosition;
    }

Please give me some solution. Thanks in Advance.

    @You can try the following code:

          public async void CurrentLocation()
  {
    try
        {
                await CrossGeolocator.Current.StartListeningAsync(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5), 10, true, new 
         Plugin.Geolocator.Abstractions.ListenerSettings
            {
                ActivityType = Plugin.Geolocator.Abstractions.ActivityType.AutomotiveNavigation,
                AllowBackgroundUpdates = true,
                DeferLocationUpdates = true,
                DeferralDistanceMeters = 1,
                DeferralTime = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
                ListenForSignificantChanges = true,
                PauseLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false
            });
     count++;
     CrossGeolocator.Current.PositionChanged += changedPosition;
   }

    However, you will only get an update once a new location is available. This seems to be a limitation of the Network Provider. If you want more frequent updates use the GPS provider. Depending on the GPS hardware you should get a maximum update rate around 4Hz.
