How frequently does Nextstop collect GPS in the foreground?
For both iOS and Android, if the driver does not move and the app is in the foreground, a ping approximation will be collected every 5 mins. If the time stamp for the newest ping is greater than or equal to 5 mins past, the last ping it will be synced with X Dispatch. If the driver is moving, a ping will be collected according to the Mobile Options Set setting for "GPS significant change" (default value is 40 feet). See Mobile Option Sets (Desktop Operations App).
