Parameters
Geographical position of the current location.
GPS accuracy (in meters) of the current location.

Current speed in meters per second. Or null if not available.
Altitude in meters. Or null if not available.
The UTC time of this location fix, in milliseconds since epoch (January 1, 1970).
It is not monotonic, so it should not be used to compare instances of GeoLocation. Prefer elapsedRealtimeNanos for that purpose.
The monotonic time of this fix since system boot, including time spent in deep sleep, in nanoseconds.
Unlike time, this property can be used to reliably compare instances of GeoLocation because it is guaranteed to be monotonic.
The name of the location provider.
The type of the location provider (e.g., REALTIME or SOFT_DR).
