locationSensor.Speed()

[Steve Marcus]

I can't seem to find any docu for locationSensor.Speed(). Can anyone enlighten me on what this actually does? 

I'm looking at putting the user's speed into my app, and currently I am calculating it manually as (distance/time). Does locationSensor.Speed() automatically return the users speed without the need for these calculations manually? If so, what units is it in? (mph?) and how to use it?

Thanks,

Speed returns the speed value from the location sensor itself. It's best to do the calculations yourself, it ends up being more accurate. The returned speed is in meters / second over ground.

You can use it if you're not too concerned about accuracy, I haven't tested it much, when using the location sensor in the past, I had always done the calculations manually.
