Comment 7 for bug 1604446

I just had a chat with Thomas, and it appears that the GeoPositionInfoSource as implemented in qtubuntu-sensors always returns the last known position first on purpose, before starting to request updates. This is similar to what the geoclue plugin does.

However it’s not clear that this should be happening: QGeoPositionInfoSource has a lastKnownPosition() method¹ that allows clients to query the last know position explicitly, so I don’t think a call to startUpdates() should return that last known position first. Instead clients should be calling lastKnownPosition() themselves to get a first approximation, and then call startUpdates() to get an updated position (and thus expect that the first response will be with an accurate position).
